2006 Jambo/Cape York Club Trip
I know it's eary days yet but I'm looking at running a club trip in September October 2006. It will be from Sydney to Coffs for a day or two there and then on to the Jambo in QLD and from there up to Fraser Island for a few days and then back to Sydney.
Would anyone be interested in a 2 week trip with 4 days or so on Fraser? I was planning on doing a return Simpson crossing at Easter but a change of job etc has pretty much cancelled that one :(
Cheers

Ok, so not much interest in Fraser after the Jambo, how about Cape York? I'm planning on taking 3 weeks leave for this so if you want to come along you'll need to do the same but it could be a once off oppertunity :)

I'm still undecided if i am going to even make Jambo next year. If i do though as much as i would LOVE to do the Cape or Fraser, some mates are heading to Tassie towards the end of next year and i think it'll be pushing it to go on ANOTHER trip>
Great idea though Steve. I am sure some people will be keen.

Well I've decided it'll be the Cape, I've come close before but never gone all the way so this time it'll be something like this.
1 day / Friday 28 September 2006 - Sydney to Brisbane/Jambo
2 days / Saturday & Sunday - Jambo
2 days - Jambo to Cairns
14 days - Cairns to Cape to Cairns
3 days - Cairns to Sydney
So 22 days all up. That 14 days going to the Cape and back should leave plenty of sight seeing time :)
Basically after discussions with my wife the trip is on.
Will this be the SJC longest trip? who's going to come along? Will it be a lone XJ up at the Cape with all those stories to tell ;)
Cheers

Would love to to the Cape, sounds like a good plan Steve.
Can't commit just yet but I'll certainly be thinking about it.

No problem, just thought I'd put it out there now to try and get some people thinking about it, seems to be working ;) Ideally it'll only be about 4 or 5 vehicles at the most anyway. Just hope some club members take advantage of it as if they haven't done a big trip they really are missing out...

ummm...errr.... wow, sounds great... keen, but will have to think on this one... lots to consider, holidays, make sure car ok... other life events.
But sounds tops! Would have been happy with Fraser as well, but seen as I only read this post now, seems cape is the go. I'll chat to you next time I see you Steve

I was originally thinking Fraser but I've been there a few times and you only need to take 5 days off work to do Fraser. In fact I was going to run a club trip there in Jan but need to work now :( After Cape York the next big one will be a Simpson crossing :) probably some time in 2007!!!

I love to join too Stevef, but 3 weeks may be a bit
too long, let see when its close to the day if I can
take off from work ... Fraser also Sounds good too.

oh my dream of heading to the cape, it sound like this is the oppotunity.
Will be considering strongly.
