2015 FB EK Nationals HERVEY BAY, Qld June 6&7
Re: 2015 FB EK Nationals HERVEY BAY, Qld June 6&7
What a fantastic venue for the Nationals! I've already packed my boardshorts. We might even fit in another trip to Fraser Island while we're up there. Roll on June 2015
Re: 2015 FB EK Nationals HERVEY BAY, Qld June 6&7
Really looking forward to the big trip from Melbourne. Nice to have one in Qld. I've already been researching cruise control kits! Also planning the duration of my stay up there. Definitely will be at least a week in the area, looks like Harvey bay and surrounds has a lot to offer.
Re: 2015 FB EK Nationals HERVEY BAY, Qld June 6&7
We sent our entry form off last week.... and have accommodation booked...
Sounds great, Tim.... any time we can spend away from this cold, wet place in winter is desirable... but, to have the Nats as incentive is great.
We'll probably be away from here for two weeks.. nearly a week in the HB area...
Yes, Blue Haze... please let me know about your cruise control.... my right foot is getting as old as I am... and it was letting me know I am going to struggle with it as we both get older......
I'd be keen on fitting one which has adjustable "aggessive" settings - the one in the 200 is a Renault unit..(found this out through research in trying to de-sensitise it) and the blasted thing leaps into hyperspace if speed drops more than 2 km/h... throws the gearbox back and opens the injector rack right up.... this is particularly annoying when bottoming out in undulations...
Thanks for the post, Sunny Tim... been waiting for it to come up
frats,

Someone asked that just after the Cowra nats were announced, Mick.... Igor posted back that countdown would start in a few months... guess the same applies here.... but, we know it's two and a bit weeks less than 365...
Have posed up a new thread in our ACC caravan club - looking for input on what's on offer to peek at whilst up there in the limited time we have.... Fraser Island gets a strong response... but I'm not taking my bus over there and onto sand... we've got a 200 for that... I can't get them both up there..
The Bundy factory in Bundaberg (funny that) - might take a serious peek at going back in there - the chocolate licquer is bliss.... and the bond store is the only place you can get it over the counter....
Still getting feedback... and, as Mick has highlighted.... we've got time on our side at present to plan with....

We are - in 2017

Hi Blacky, is it confirmed 2017 is the year? Or is it just positive thinking???
Re: 2015 FB EK Nationals HERVEY BAY, Qld June 6&7
Our AGM is this Sunday , we will be putting a proposal together but yes it should be a goer.
