Description
The trip is timed around the April / Easter school holidays and this will be a fami ly/kid oriented trip\, the proposed plan is to make the most of the 2 week school holiday period and leave Bendigo on Friday night to get through as much of the driving as possible over Friday\, Saturday and Sunday. If all goes to plan\, we should be taking the ferry across to Fraser from Inskip Point on the Sunday\, and then spend at least a week camping on the islan d\, aiming to get back before the Easter weekend. \n Please register interest by the end of 2018\, and those interested will meet as a group an d work out a more specific itinerary that takes into account what the grou p as a whole would like to see and do. The island is accessible via ferry from a couple of spots\, so allowances can be made for people who need to leave the trip early\, wish to stay on\, or explore something along the wa y. \n My thinking is that we explore the island at a leisurely pace\, and visit some of the popular spots as well as some of the interesting bu t less visited parts of the island.
Meeting Place a nd Time
TBC
Approximate Dist ance
Getting to or from the island from Bendigo inv olves approximately 23 hours of driving (1\,850kms) and a ferry across\, e xpect to clock up around 4\,000ks. On-island driving will depend on the it inerary

Fuel is availab le on Fraser\, however it’s expensive\, recommend full tank + whatever you can easily carry
