Well,
I just did what I have a go at every tourist for.
Letting some one go to Fraser Is unprepared.
Cousin from England visiting, has hired a ford territory, and is going to Fraser Is for the next few days.
Has he taken the basics like a spade and snatch strap, no.
Has he checked for recovery points front and back , no.
I did manage to talk to him about courtesy on the tracks and beach, and
Letting his tyres down, loaned him a tyre pressure gauge.
Gave me a strange look when i first mentioned it.
And of course checking the tides, and suggesting not to travel on
the beach unless on the low tide half of the tide.
Anything else I think just went over the top of his head.
I did manage to check he actually had a 4wd territory and not 2wd.
He didn't even take a shovel.
What do you do? He was going no matter what I said.
He is an ex farmer, so has driven a few slippery roads at home, so reckons he can handle most things.
What do you do? He was going no matter what I said.
Did try and organise a weekend on the island with him, to save others the trouble of a possible recovery, but we just ran out of time organising it.
Knowing his luck he will have a ball of a time.
Worst part is I miss out on a trip to Fraser!
