huski Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 oh man, I looked in whereis last night to see excatly where Camp Tailwaggers is at the Gold Coast. Its a fricken 3hr drive!!! I guess i'll have to get up extra early and battle my way through horrible brisbane traffic on my way through...sigh.....hope its worth it. I'm sure it will, Im quite excited. (So if I'm really dumb on the day its because I had to get up early ) you can always drive down the night before and stay at Camp Tailwaggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(So if I'm really dumb on the day its because I had to get up early ) Where do you live Wildatheart? I was kind of thinking about arranging some kind of carpool as I dread the drive on my own too - although with the logan and pacific motorways and the new tweed by pass I think it's only an hour from the western suburbs where I am. I'm coming from Toowoomba. Oh I dread drivin in Brissy too, all the road works and limited signage. oh man, I looked in whereis last night to see excatly where Camp Tailwaggers is at the Gold Coast.

I got a huge reving yesterday for confirming my three days off next week for state championships. No way am i asking for thursday off, i might even have to be 'sick' on the friday. WTF they give us annual leave for if we cant have it??? Anyway, so i'll be going down friday morning. Car pool sounds like a great idea, except, where would the dogs fit?

Car pool sounds like a great idea, except, where would the dogs fit? ohhh Toowoomba will be nasty. If you can get to the Logan motorway before 7am you should be ok with the traffic. Ipwich motorway the the warego highway in the last few km's before it becomes the ipswich motorway are the worst for traffic but I've found (from past experience) that you can get through that before 7am you don't encounter as much traffic. Once you hit the logan motorway (and don't think about avoiding the tolls as it will take you over an hour to get through Brisbane any other way) it's really cruisey as you are going the opposite way to most others!

~SL~ Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) Huski, how long would it take you to get there? I have to come from the Sunshine Coast, so know how long to get to Brisbane, but from Brisbane to Camp Tailwaggers I'm not sure on.

Miss Monster Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 do i need an etag? or do they still do cash? No you don't need one anymore - you just drive through and can then go to their website (www.govia.com.au) and it gives you options on how to pay - I think you have 3 days to pay before they send you a bill with an extra charge???

WildatHeart Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I asked dad if he felt like booking the four seat Cessena for the day and flying me down but he didnt like that idea, not for the cost to hire the plane. its was worth a try lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mish13 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I don't know any of you but you are dog lovers so that's good enough for me. I live on the northern end of the gold coast and where is says its 50.4ks or 41mins to Camp Tailwagers. Any of the people traveling long distance are more then welcome to crash at my house the night before if that helps. I wont carpool the next day thou because Oscar is not very dog friendly. We have just had friends stay for two weeks with two cattle dogs and it worked out fine. I have a fully fenced front yard and double garage that there dogs used and mine stayed out the back and the house. I have two spare bedrooms and a spare bathroom, house trained dogs are more then welcome to sleep in your room with you. I have never been to Camp Tailwaggers so cant wait to have a look at the place. If anyone is interested let me know and I will pm you my details.
