Those troopy rolls are popular.
I'd rather a chicken schnitzel, lettuce and mayo personally

The report I heard said 'tour bus', but I believe only half the news I see and less of what I only hear. Seems to have happened on the inland track between the barge and Dilli Village. That would take a lot of speed (for the conditions).

Yeh your right Norm. Media wouldn't know whats what, Had to laugh at a report by The North West Star in Mt Isa, A Heavy Haulage truck had a problem in the middle of an
Intersection back in June , The idiots called it a Roadtrain ,

One of the koreans was driving, 3 days experience on Fraser and on the way back.
Hook point too, where
the beach is narrow and tide comes in quick.
Might have been pushing it to get through.

Yes, on the inland road.
Supposedly they 'flipped' the troopy, they must have been flying...
From the footage it appeared that the roofrack was empty. That's unusual.
As much as Fraser Island incidents get a lot of coverage, there really are very few incidents when you consider the number of people fanging around over there...
There will now be the usual calls to ban troopies, backpackers, yada yada.
If only the EPA were actually interested in the needs of island visitors (and potential island visitors)...
