Fraser or bust
- Thread starter Bushman
- Start date
Nothing like free camping with power, even if I did have to run 30 metres of lead and nearly 50 just to top the tanks up
Just friends and family actually first time I've been here since they moved here
Actually popped the circuit breaker to the shed last though we are running on gas and solar as only 10 amp supply, turned the air conditioner on for a while and some who shall remain nameless flick the kettle on.

I have an AmpPhibian 10 to 15 amp converterwith it’s own circuit breaker. Great piece of kit and useful for plugging in the van at home too.
Yep I have one too, though the shed popped first think because they have other stuff plugged in for function on today
They need rain badly here so I better stay a bit longer
Hey Bushman it seems you DID bring the rain... at last! Yo can definitely stay longer!
Well today is the first day of rain in just on a week so got to happy with that because they need it here.
It's also the day we say goodbye to the van for a little while as we head to Fraser later this afternoon

Couple of snap shots from Fraser Island last week
You were lucky, it's a very different picture today or should I say tonight, we didn't arrive till 9pm have to take mix of inland and beach tracks, it was at one point very I'm so glad my brother convinced me to leave our vehicle and the main land and ride shot gun in his very well equipped Prado it was let's say a hell of a ride from the back seat, though some herendous conditions.

We were very lucky to catch the 9am ferry from Wanggoolba Creek yesterday and have a week on Fraser with really good weather. We copped rain from Fraser all the way to the Gold Coast yesterday. Have heard that Fraser hasn't had rain for more than 6 months and the GC about 3 months. Got bogged a few times on Fraser but with friends so got snatched out luckily. Standard height Ford Everest doesn't always work...

Our campsite at Central Station on Fraser Island and nice big sites too.
Do you follow us around Oz
Ummm, maybe....
No, wouldn't have dared, as I got bogged a couple of times. We did see a few vans along the beach in the free camps, which we wandered how they got there.
We stayed at Cathedrals in a family tent, good place. We thought we'd do the right thing and stay in the middle of the island, but didn't realise how long it took to get to places on the island. If we were to do it again, we break it up to 3 separate places, lower, middle and top of the Island.
