queensland Monduran 2010 Booked

[Brian D]

As the title suggests I have booked the house and cabin for next year.

We have the house from 13-18th November 2010. THere will be a couple of spots for bunk beds but both double rooms have been taken. If you have a special request PM me and I'll see if I can sort out something.

I have also booked a cabin from 19-21 Nov 2010. This is full already.

At this stage there are cabins available from 13th till 21st Nov if any group or couple would like to grab one. THese are even good for families, just excuse my manners.

Why book at this time? Because the last couple of years have produced fish during this time. full moon in 2010 Nov is 19th.

I am in and have reserved one of the bottom bunks near the window.. Hope who ever is above me doesnt peet the bed :blush:

Cheers

Ray

[Do$tylz]

Brian... count me in shotgun top bunk above ray

[Brian D]

Ray - I have saved the double room for you but if Glenda comes again then you get religated to the bunks again.

Do$ - yeap you are in. Are you yakking, boating or deckie?

So far

Brian D

Maybe's

Feral

Ferg

Loz & Glenda

Remember there are heaps of camping spots for those who have the gear.

THere is also a house boat option if you get your group together. Now that would be something.

THere is another option to stay in town. I usualy grab a hotel room for a couple of days at about $60 night. It's about 22k's to the dam from town and if you fish 1 long session per day it is very do-able. I enjoy this. Develope that a bit further, you could stay in town, head to the dam to fish the moring sess, crash at the house for lunch and poppa nap, head out for the arvo sess and return home to town. THis is a very do-able variation.

I'll call for deposits before too long.

[Dusky]

Hey Brian is it alright if Me, Dee and Little Lachlan come along ??? :S :S

I convinced her to do it for her Birthday which is on the 17th of November!! :woohoo:

Don't worry about bubs keeping you guys awake we will camp in the Pajero or we will pitch a tent and i will bring you all some ear plugs!! :silly: :silly:

We will probably only do the first session from the 13th to the 18th!!

Cheers :laugh: :laugh:

[Brian D]

Dusky, you guys are welcome but you wont fit in the house. So either grab a cabin (better be quick) or pitch a tent. The cabins are great and would suit you guys, air con, ensuite, cooking etc.

This way your missus would be comfortable on her birthday while you fishing.

:woohoo:

[bootyinblue]

I am attending 2010 big time!

Will be camping it up next year and take my boat along. I am sure I can 'buy' an hours AC in a cabin or the house in exchange for some afternoon bevvies!

[Dusky]

Hey Brian do they have a website for making bookings mate??

Cheers

Ray

[wesfish]

sounds like a great trip planned , i will say hell yeah and will bring my swag and tarp and sleep on the floor of my boat :laugh:

[Bommie]

I'll be keen

[Lozzel]

Loz & Glenda def be there (sorry Ray back to the bottom bunk again) from the 13th- 21st and will share the cabin with you if it's still avail. Otherwise we might come home early or get another cabin.

[Tom B]

Count me in guys, will sleep on the floor if need be, will be bringing my own boat, room for 1 deckie, must be skinny like me (only a small boat)and like casting. BTW guys, ended up with 1 more at 112cm the next morning mate was over the moon0

[Brian D]

Loz - you'll have to grab your own cabin as mine is full 19-21.

But I confirm your spot in the house.

Wesfish - the bugs are really bad at night so staying in an open boat might drive you nuts. Ferg slept in his car this year but used the house for amenities, he still paid full fare of the house to avoid unfair situations. We are allowed 6 people in the house before we pay extra. this year we cheated a bit as Loz and Glenda stayed in the one bed.

Booty - the camping and lunch in the house is a good idea. If the weather turns to crap come to the house or cabin.

so how it looks is

13-18 Nov House is full

Bommie are you camping or cabin.

Wesfish and Bommie get 1st reserve on the house for drop outs.

It's looking like you guys might get the numbers to book a cabin. As it's 12 months away, think about it hard, then don't waste time before booking your cabin as they will book out quickly.

Anyone else interested?

[ellicat]

Count me in. Somewhere, somehow.

[Do$tylz]

Brian. Chances are I'll bring my boat up there mate so I'll have a spare decky spot for anyone

Thanks for putting me in straight away Brian. Looks like I'll have some peace and quiet to retreat to after some partying with the camping boys

[Brian D]

Do$ there will be no time for parties. You'll have to do your drinking on the run in between barra and catfish.

AS to preferencial placing mate I just took em in order, you were the quickist

Slight change of plans

Brian D

Glenda & I just booked a cabin for ourselves for 10 days Arriving Fri 12th departing Mon 22nd. We thought that would be better than moving halfway through.

This opens up the house for someone else and Ray can have the Double back.

Ellicat

If you wish, Glenda says she can put up with you (for a short time anyway :laugh: :laugh: )

So theres room for ya if you would like to stay in the cabin :kiss: :kiss: (Lucky bugger)

Lozz

[ellicat]

That's most gracious of Glenda ! :laugh: Cheers for the offer Loz.

I'm not sure on what dates I'll be there, so if some better looking man wants to step-in on me that'll be OK with me. This year I'm EzyCat. (waits for the inevitable jibes lol)

After listening to Kriso grunt on his own in the double bed last year it'll be nice to hear ..... :blush: oh, did I say that... :laugh:

[Brian D]

That's cool crazy Loz, I was going to do that but had numbers for the house. I think Ray will still want the house so it looks like we have some space, Wesfish or Dusty I think one of you guys were next in line if you want the bunk. Which one wants it?

[Malcolm]

Do you think I'll need to book ahead for camping

[Brian D]

No malcolm, you shoudl be right for a tent, there's heaps of room. Not sure about powered sites but.

Are you sure you guys don't want the cabin? I booked it with the intention to extend the period for the overflow from the house?

[Dusky]

Wife and kid have decided to go to Melbourne , so I'll be up there on me own or I might drag some other NCF member along for the ride. :laugh: :laugh:

I'll be camping, so can you book a camping site or is it first in best dressed, also where is the best place to camp??

Is it okay to leave your boat in the water overnight or whats the go??

About how long would it take to drive there from Ballina??

Cheers

[Lozzel]

Dusky about 8Hrs from Ballina it would be about 600km. then allow for traffic and Qld drivers :laugh: :laugh:

[Brian D]

mate we dont leave our boats in the water so I don't know if it's safe. You can't see the ramp from the houses. It's an easy drive up the hill.

Best spot to camp would be under a tree cause it's bloody hot.

It's about 7 hours from Balina to the camp.

[Dusky]

Thanx fellas I'll be bringing some shade with me aswell!!

And a bloody big esky!!

Are the camp sites fairly big??? e.g 4m x 4m say??

Cheers

[bootyinblue]

Hey Dusky... I was only there last year, but scoped it out for camping this year. I am going to book a powered site soom to make sure. http://www.lakem.com.au/ is the address of the park. There is a park map http://www.lakem.com.au/pdf/sitemap.pdf and I am going to request 11,12,14,15,16 as a camp site.

We pulled the boats out each day, no great drama and its a 2 minute careful drive back as they were never tied down.
