On Friday 25th January most of us arrived nice and early to catch the 7am barge across to Fraser Island With a combination of “old” and “new” members it was a time to great each other and get introduced. We docked at Kingfisher Resort and in Aussie style bought flags for our 4WDs and had a chat, a laugh, tuned our UHF radios and headed off to Eurong for our bush camping experience for the long weekend. Upon arrival at Eurong we found that the tides were higher than expected due to the storms the Fraser Coast had received over the previous weeks. A change of plan was set into motion – stop for a light snack and a cuppa. With all of us being refueled we headed to Central Station where we looked around and some of us more energetic went for a walk. After a bit more 4WDing we headed back to Eurong. With the tide out and the beach passable we made our way to the camping ground. Upon arrival we checked out the camping area and set up for the weekend. The next morning it was time to register club members for the Australia Day Clean Up. After the last members arrived and set up we headed out for an afternoon of exploring Fraser Island. We cooled off at Lake Boomanjin and did some canoeing thanks to Anthony and Helen. With all members cooled off we headed back to camp. Sunday morning with breakfast under out belts and the tide out it was time to Clean Up – Fraser Island. Our clean up side was the beach area around Eurong station. With that we set a plan in motion and got down and going. A trailer load of 40 rubbish bags later we had the beach area cleaned. After dumping the rubbish in the designated area it was time to explore more of Fraser Island. With some inland and beach driving we stopped at the Maheno and afterward at Eli Creek to refresh. We headed back to camp to get ready for the Toyota sponsored Clean up Fraser Island BBQ. It was a great evening. Monday morning came around far too fast. It was time to back up and use any time left to explore more of Fraser Island and take the barge home. It was a weekend crammed with various 4wd experiences and lots of laughs.
