In 1986 I flew to the Island of Maui and spent three months there.......3 winter months.... :good2:.......2007 I spent 6 weeks in Southern China learning to communicate in Mandarin........In February of 2014 .......I will begin my 4 week Australian Adventure with the 30th Anniversary Australian FJ Rally Crowning what should be a seriously Amazing Experience  :yahoo:. I will be keeping a photo and video journal of the event and I would love to share this monumental voyage with you.....my fellow FJ members. Any stories, photos, suggestions, warnings ( other than Klav) :mocking: ,comments and tips are all welcome.....so please feel free to be part of this with me. The Flight is already booked and paid...now begins the planning stage. I have searched several forums and have only scratched the surface......so come aboard and share the ride with me......... :drinks:

Not yet......I have lots of time to research and field any suggestions.......but will likely put it all together sometime before February.......

You certainly must come to south east Queensland (Gold Coast-Brisbane-Sunshine Coast) and take up with a bunch of us that live in this wonderful area.

BTW we are closed all day every second Tuesday and on every Thursday between 10.00am and 2.00pm, you will need to bring your own toilet paper and toothpaste.

I have kleptomania,
but when it gets bad,
I take something for it.

Well first will need to know what sort of things you like.

If you like glitter and stuff the Gold Coast strip would be the place.

If you like wide open spaces anywhere west of the east coast.

So what type of things do you want to get up too.

Sounds like up and down the east coast would be the go for you.

If you can stare at this picture for a few hours, and still want to stare at it for a bit more, I'd stick to the east coast and stay clear of the wide open spaces we have.

lol.......after some input from several people......looks like that will be the best option.......I may even extend my visit by another 2 weeks.......a week earlier then the 20th of Feb....and a week later then the 20th of March....so that would be from the 13th of Feb through to the 27th of March...we'll see.......I will contact the booking agent tomorrow...... :good2:
