Off to QLD

[Dwayne OMember]

Well it looks like I`m heading up to Sunny QLD for work, Maryborough to be exact :whistle:
Not a permanent thing (at this stage) just a short term secondment to another division of my current employer.

Not planning on riding at all at this stage as the logistics of getting bike & gear up there is not an option.
But I am looking at getting into a Bundy Rum Distillery tour & some of the local fishing as I will be staying right on the water at Hervey Bay

Also keen to hit some freshwater action at Lake Lenthalls, which has Barra, big Bass, Silver Perch and Saratoga :woohoo:
Anyone on here have any contacts with locals up that way with access to a tinny or Kayak for a weekend or day trip ??

Gotta plan something to kill the weekends while I`m up there as at this stage I don`t think I`m required to work the Sat or Sundays

I will be in town from 17th and through till the 5th or 6th April.

You could always buy a TRAIL bike!

Still can`t fit one of those faggy things in the plane Snow 😆

[Alan RootsMember]

Get onto some of the fishing forums Eags , tell them your dreams and maybe some one up there can get you a seat in a boat with a local guide and all .

You could always freight your bike and gear up there a week or two before you fly and pick it up when you arrive , and then freight it back when it’s time to come home . Might be a bit exy though .

Myself , I’d book a charter for some Harvey bay pelagic action or a bottom bounce off shore depending on what’s being caught at the time . I have no experience of any of the operators up there though , so can offer no advice about them .

I`m expecting to be made redundant either the day I leave or when I get back Al :dry: so will be keeping the penny spending to a minimum mate,, therefore charters are off my radar unfortunately :whistle:

I only really volunteered to go to escape the negative vibes and flying knives at work at present , A change is as good as a holiday I reckon :laugh:

Cheers Strucky, It was good to have a chat this arvo mate.
As I said, great to hear your getting back into a work routine too champ .

All the best

[Dave WigginMember]

That’s too bad mate.

Was hoping you might front for the Snowy ride.

Have a good time up there. Plenty of sunscreen while fishing on that Irish skin of yours.

Uncertain times for sure in the Aussie economy.

See you when you get back. How about TTT in August mate?

its a bit rough work wise lately hay eagle but dont worry to much the bosses still want the same amount of work done just less workers they put them off than wonder why the works not getting done will only rehire again if they want it done .am going through this at work now have not got enough arms to keep up stuff the tight arses

[Dwayne OMember]

No chance of the High Country for me Wiggy :unsure:

I think I`ll be ok whilst away on my work gig,, accommodation looks pretty comfy 😆

Yep inside gents, although I reckon the pool area could be good on the hot nights :laugh:
Fully paid up for 3 weeks, self contained apartment with balcony etc

And Hire car to get to down the road to work each day (unfortunately)

Kind of sucks though to be my one & only junket out of work after near 5 yrs service …
I`ll make do though and get what I can out of it

Come on up Boonster,,,, just bring a tinny and some barra proof gear :woohoo:

Cheers

[Mark BuntingMember]

Sounds like a tough time on the work front there eags. I hope it all goes well for you.

As for the accommodation I recon you should book into the local backpaker and pocket the extra coin :woohoo: Just keep your hands off the young european chicks :whistle:
