Can bring a smoker and heaps of meat if it helps?

No one is going to argue haha.

[tugger]

We need some veges to roast so with numbers we will need 3kg of spuds a whole pumkin and 2kg of carots, if 1 person could bring 1 of each of those veges that would be great.

 

I will do desert with my world famous camp oven baked butterscotch pudding topped of with custard.

 

We will need a few chooks to roast on the spit if someone could bring a chook each and keep them under 2kg around the 1.6 to 1.8kg is ideal.

[Tybo]

I was going to do a potato salad, but roast potatoes sound way better. I will bring a kilo of potatoes and a chook if that's cool with everyone.

[kmcrosby78]

I'll bring a pumpkin, a couple of garlic breads and a milk crate of firewood  (or is there enough firewood there generally?).

[aussie123]

I will bring a large bag of peas and beans and a couple of pavlovas with fresh cream and fruit.

[tugger]

The more wood the better

Tom Rosde my chef from work sigend up as Nathanr's deckie and is locked in for chicken.

Will there be room on the spit for the Venison Leg or should I bring mine over? Just trying to minimize gear but can bring one.

I will try to work out gear and what we can fit Robbie. I tow the boat with my ute, so taking gear won't be a problem, it's just getting it over there and having room to fish in the morning. If need be, we can leave stuff like firewood in the tray(it's covered) and do a run back to get it later on Saturday afternoon.

[aussie123]

The venison leg is probably better off slow cooked in a camp oven.

The other thing is I can take my tinny over so as to not fill you up with stuff and then leave it at the campsite and deckie with you.

I'll have a look and see if it fits. It might if I cut it up a bit. Will be good as a stew.

Whatever is easiest for you Robbie, I don't mind. I'll work out what I'm taking, see how much space there is in the boat and take it from there. Even if we have to do a run straight over there first thing in the morning to unload, then head out I don't mind. It's the crab pots that are the awkward item that takes up the room, once they're in the water it's happy days.

[Angus]

Ok so hope everyone get the memo!!!

No spit so just bring BBQ stuff, salads and bread. Weather cannot be helped.

Sorry.

Angus

[tugger]

yes I will bring a 4 burner all plate bbq and gas bottle for the camp and I will also bring 24 pack of snags for the bbq

@Drop Bear maybe we can cut some venny steaks off the leg?

[Angus]

Ok so still looking good for a feast. 

@Drop Bear good for venison steaks 

@kmcrosby78 good for loads of great stuff!

@tuggergood for snags and bbq. The list goes on. We will be fine

[aussie123]

I am bringing 2 Pavs with fresh fruit and cream and mince for rissoles

I will also grab some cheese and bickies for afternoon brunch

[kmcrosby78]

Good stuff Lance, I might not worry about the brownies then (unless the wife makes them ...) as I'll no doubt be busy Fri night getting myself organised. Will definitely bring a coleslaw in addition to the bread rolls.

[aussie123]

Sounds good Kelvin.

It's going to be a good feast

[samsteele115]

I am not going to be the bloke who rocks up empty handed and eats all the food, so is there a piece of the feast puzzle thats missing that I could provide?

Will be there saturday arvo.

[Drop Bear]

I'm bringing South African Sausages now. There will be a small amount of Vension steak but not much sorry.

Actually would you be able to pick up a tub of coleslaw as well? No dramas if not, I just forgot this arvo and am now home with the boat hooked up.  Excitement is building - feel 'slightly' guilty about how happy I am to be at home without any kids .......  See everyone tomorrow.

Cannot answer as to where @Drop Bear got his but there are a few specialty south African shops around these days. One at Tingalpa and one at Toowong spring to mind.

I think this is them.... But the website doesn't have them in Carindale. They are behind the KFC and next to Subway on Old Cleveland Rd about 1km east of the shopping center. 

Not South African but I have a lot of mates who are.
