Straddie 2005

Date: Sat 10th - Sun 11th December 2005

This years overnight camping run to Stradbroke Island has come and gone. Assembling at the Pineapple, the mob headed out to Cleveland to the ferry terminal.

After a fairly swift 45 mins the ferry dumped us at Dunwich where we began our lazy 20km ride North up the island to Adder Rock camping ground.

By the time we were all set up we were well into the afternoon. A swim in the ocean rinsed the grime off and woke us up for a barbeque dinner and a chance to talk to the new faces, Neil & Mel.

The night was your typical balmy evening, perfect for beer consumption, which then led to the local security asking us to take it down a notch.

1 night was definitely not enough and before we knew it we were packing our gear and heading home. Short but sweet...
