Then for the next 2 days we paddle on day trips north and south dependant on the tide (which is high in the middle of the day). We would paddle close to the shore either way. This is an excellent paddling location, but is costly ($95 return for passenger and kayak). We may be able to do this cheaper if some of us are prepared to use our 4WDs to carry ~ 4 kayak on top.\n\n<p> --><\/p>\n<p>Grade: 1 &#8211; 1.5<br \/>\nDates: Friday night &#8211; Sunday 4th May) &#8211; overnight Friday and Saturday nights<br \/>\nAccommodation: Camping<\/p>\n<p>Further details to come<\/p>\n<p>Contact: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uqcanoeclub.net\/about\/contact-the-uqcc-committee\/\">John Simmons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A camping trip (2 nights) to South Stradbroke Island in Moreton Bay (changed from Tangalooma\/Moreton Island due to ferry issues).
