More Fraser Tales!

Before we headed off to Fraser to camp, we realised we only have 1 fridge & that would be used for food, what was going to keep the beverages cold?
Now that is a very important thought....We thought!!!
We need an esky! How stupid, we just sold 3 plus a little waeco fridge back home before we left, thinking we would not need them.
The fridge in the car becomes a second fridge when we are in the caravan, but camping well that is a different story!
So we hunted around at camping shops & connivance stores all over Rainbow Beach.
Wow $40 for a crappy flimsy box they call a cool room & 25 for a throw away foam esky.....No Way!
A bucket with ice will suffice!
Over on Fraser & the prices there are just as ridiculous, if not worse $6.00 for a small bottle of tomato sauce, $90 for a box of Crown Lager & Diesel $1.90 per litre!
So the esky was not looking good at this stage!
Day 2 & Mark returned after a morning fishing, not with fish, but even better a Foam Esky!
Someone had left it down on the beach after they had finished with it.
Lined with a garbage bag & wal-ah!...The ice should last a bit longer now!
As we left the island we took it back down & put it where Mark found it, ready for the next lot of unprepared campers!
Now that Husband was a Great Catch!!!

  2. Yeah i know they are a rip off over there!
    We took everything over & just had to buy bread & milk, even that was yuck as it only gets delivered every so often!
    The island is full of back packers.....
    Doo-gun-vargans we called them!
    Anyway the shop keepers would make a fortune from them!
