Lamington National Park continued... As we made our way along, we came across a few very nice water falls. First falls. Second falls. At one point we had to remove our shoes and cross the very cold water. It was refreshing... A few other shots we took along the way... To be...

Lamington National Park continued... After getting to the campsite a bit on the late side of things and setting up camp in the dark, we woke up to a cool but beautiful sight. There were wallabies feeding all over the camp site. However there were less appealing critters that walk around...

John, We did do some walking. See future posts... Cheers, P

From what I have seen to date in Australia, you need a poper snorkel if you live or travel anywhere but the major roads. Everywhere you go, there roads are "Subject to flooding". Now that looks like a pretty intense test! :sombrero:

Difficult decision... I had originally posted this over in my Cruiser thread when you asked about the MTZ tire but the comments are valid here... Both the Cooper and ******** Cepek would be good tires. I've seen a few FCII first hand and was intrigued by them. Back in Canada, a member of our...

Great thread Jan, Great idea for a thread. I'll have to respond properly once I have better net access...as mentionned in my cruiser thread we've recently re-organized and it seems to be working realtively well for the time being.

All in due time...

I may have been watching too many Australian 4WD Action DVD's but... She's a beauty! :victory:

Small update on changes to date. After a few trips out it was time to address a few items... I had posted this in one of our trip reports, but it's good to have here as a reference as well...After picking up the cruiser, I spent some time storing tools, recovery gear and camping equipment in...

Redline, I've got a bit of feedback for you. I did not measure the thread depth when they were new, but I'll be buying a new one as a matching spare sortly so I'll have something to "baseline" against. Noise - I've been pleasantly suprised. For their agressiveness they are quiet and you can...

This weekend, we pointed the Landcruiser in a Southerly direction towards Lamington National Park (World Heritage listed). This area of Queensland is know for it's rainforests, spectacular views, extensive bushwalking tracks. We had been preparing on Wed. and Thurs. for a quick departure on...

Glad I could share. :sombrero:

Leaving is never easy... On Sunday morning, we decided it was time for a bit of exercise after spending much of the time behind the wheel. We did an easy bushwalk that took us to the now dry Freshwater Lake. It was an easy stroll in the morning but it was already very hot when we set off...

Beach, Sand Bubbler Crabs and Ice cream trucks... As we were getting ready to leave, I saw a truck pull up the beach and stop. A few seconds later, some vehicles that were literally blasting past (50 - 80 Km/h) pulled some hard stops and U-turns. I was wondering what was happening but could...

Beach, Sand Bubbler Crabs and Ice cream trucks... Another teaser shot, pardon the beer belly and white skin! After speding a bit of time cooling off in the water, we wandered arround the beach and found something cool that caught our eye... A different view... Apparently these sand...

KC, I'm hoping to be here for a bit longer. Perhaps a trip over to OZ would help cure your feelings... durango_60, I've read more than my share of envious threads, this is my attempt to do something about it! :elkgrin: jim65wagon, It's really hard to beat the relaxing effects of beach, sand...

Thanks for the info, much appreciated! Everything is new and different from what we know so it's a case of take the safe route in most cases. I might suprise you one of these days and drop in...:sombrero:

Heading to Freshwater... After relaxing along Rainbow Beach it was time to make our way to our camp site for the evening. We were going to Freshwater campground. There are two access routes to this site. One from Tewah beach or another along a 4WD track accessible from Rainbow Beach Road...

Finding Freswater Campground. We decided to stop in an see a very important location if you are heading to Fraser Island. The community of Rainbow Beach where you can stock up on supplies and fuel before the final push to Fraser. From Rainbow Beach you can follow the beach route or the inland...

Heading North East for the weekend So after much debate we decided that the beach was that the go. Due to fading daylight and not wanted to risk an encounter with a stray roo, we opted for a campsite that was close to Brisbane city. Once again we found ourselves surrounded by the Glass House...
