Other advice ?
I dropped the tyre pressure (on the terrano) to about 22psi I think.
If you get to the Island at high tide you should wait an hour or otherwise you will have to drive through
water for 100-200m.
Where you are going is very easy access as it is on the bay side. You should have no problems getting there at all. (Next time we are taking our forester and am not worried about any issues.)
Going to the lighthouse from
Bulwer should be no problems also (as you will not have any heavy
camping gear with you). The only road you might have some difficulty on is coming back form the surfside of the island on the middle road. The begining of it is usually very rugged and steep. Keep up the speed, don't stop and you should be ok.
The sand in the
carpark of the the
blue lagoon can be very soft at times. Drop tyre pressures.
For recovery gear I take a snatch strap (with some shackles), shovel, and a compressor. By the way, I haven't used any of them on the isalnd yet.
Do you have any proper recovery points. The forester only has tiedown points and no easy way of attaching a rated recovery point, so I take with me an equaliser strap to spread the load.
We usually take dry ice for the week to keep things cool, although normal ice can be bought at
Bulwer.
Our kids always have a ball and always ask when are we going to Moreton.
Take a board of masonite (and wax) if you want to sand toboganing.
The feeding of the dolphins occurs at sunset at Tangalooma jetty. It's suppose to be only for guests but oh
well.
Enjoy.
