Do you know much about the beaches up your way Ms Star? Im planning a November hiatus that will involve surfing/4WD'ing/camping/drinking and need to do some homework.

Looking for uncrowded breaks and dont care if we have to go 10km off road to get there????

These are the new little suckers that are hurting everyone....very dangerous...smaller than a 10c piece - very hard to see! And they've just found a new type too -- even MORE dangerous! :eek:

And the reason we have no surf here because of the reef off Townsville.

LOL!! Maybe that's why we all drink so much up this way? Because there's nothing to fucking do?!?!?!

Nah, there is stuff to do. People generally go camping, 4WDing and swimming in freshwater holes....not many people here are really big beach people....probably because between November and May you can't swim! Then after May it;s too cold for 3 months (well, for us anyway!) and then it's fucking nearly November again!?!?!?

Champion!!!

Not what I needed to hear. I went thru a nest of baby blueies when I was about 10. Had about 300-400 tiny little (pin head sized) mongrels all down my arms and some inside my wetsuit around my neck.

Still haunts me hey. Ill still go out when there is blueis but Ill paddle like a maniac when I see one. My mates still think its funny to flick them at my when walking along the beach.

Think I might stick to lower QLD then. Thanks Zig appreciate it

Fuck that!!!! I've never been stung....never want to either!

Yep, stick to lower QLD if you want to go surfing, swimming etc at that time of year.

It's not a good feeling being stung.
A mate of mine was out surfing a couple of years ago, dived under a wave and emerged with bluebottle tentacles covering his face and wrapped around his arms.
Wasn't a pretty sight.................... we did laugh a lot though

SHIT!!! I hope you had vinegar to splash on it!!

What shits me off here is every now and then some dickheads go and empty all the vinegar bottles that are stationed every 100m or so along the beaches! So dangerous!

I just remembered that my mum used to always take her own vinegar to the beach when we went when we were little! HA! I suppose with 5 kids jumping around, good chance of being stung!

They now reckon that vinegar doesn't work on stings. They reckon that applying heat is the best way to treat it
