I had no idea about that plane and it scared the fooking SHIT out of me when I was driving along and it started coming down to land in front of me!

I liked Fraser Island so much I moved to Herveybay just on the mainland.
Rainbow beach is another good drive on the beach down to Noosa.
Some good state forrest drives aswell.
Bought my cossies with me but prefer off roading now even sold my RS500.
Must be getting old
