Camping at Stradbroke Island

It all started when some friends we have met, invited both Si and I to Stradbroke Island for a camping trip...... (Sean, Lynn, Wayne and Maraid)... the morning came and Sean came to our house to pick up our tent, esky etc...... as they were going in a 4 x x and we would be traveling by foot and catching the water taxi accross..... we took the Friday afternoon off work and off we trotted!

We caught the water taxi from a place called Cleaveland (not far from where we live) about $19 return so not a bad fair....





When we arrive on the island, Sean and Lynn came to pick us up..... (Lynn actually owns a clothes shop on the island, lucky lady....) It took about 20 mins to drive to where we were camping, and as we drove over the sand-dune we saw what looked like a mini housing estate ha ha ha, Wayne and Maraid were well equipped! (Here are some pics)... now this is camping!


This was the main tent, (above), and this was our tent (below) ha ha ha...




Then there was the kitchen! (Wayne cooked up an awsome steak with prawns, oysters in a cram and garlic sauce mmmmmmmmm)




then here is the sink....




Then there was the shower and the toilet!



I know, I know the toilet...... but it was better than popping behind a bush ha ha ha.... also due to the heat a porti loo would be out of the question too poooooooooo...

It was great! We all sat and had a beer, sweets (lollies as they are called here in Australia), played cards etc.....


Here is Wayne with the big tub of sweets!


And here is Maraid pouring her Champers..... Oooohhh camping in style...


The next Morning, Si went fishing and caught a lovely fish, which we cooked and ate ......mmmmmmmm

Then we went on a walk, which was lovely.... here are some pics of the day...






Above is Si, Lynn and sean on the walkway around the cliffs.... it was a bit windy that day so there was no swimming in the sea for us....

Any way it was a great weekend and cant wait to do it again! Oh and befor I end this.... We went back to Maraid and Wayne's house (on the island) where Wayne showed us a pic of a fish he had caugt... we had to take a picture of the picture what a fish!!
