Winter Camping on Straddie 

Limit: 15 Vehicles

Stradbroke Ferries have the same caravan special as last year. It is half price for car and caravan/camper. You can travel over from Cleveland Sunday to Thursday from 10:30am to 3:30pm and back from Dunwich on Tuesday to Saturday 8:00am to 11:30am and 4:30pm to 5:30pm. Public and School holidays are also excluded.

We will camp at Flinders Beach where there are toilets. Showers are available at Adder Rock Campground (cost involved), tide permitting. Water is available from several fill points on the island, so you need to be able to cart it if required. There is a dump point at one of the toilet blocks at Flinders Beach.

You can come over and leave whenever you want as long as you travel during the above times to get the discount.

Further information is available on the Stradbroke ferries website. Please organise your own ferry booking, camping fees and beach driving permit.

We will be mainly relaxing but travelling on some of the local tracks, swimming for the keen, fishing and beach driving. It may be cold so please bring some timber for campfires. We will visit most of the scenic points on the island and eat out on occasion. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on lead.

The trip leader has booked the ferry from Cleveland on Monday 22 July 10:30am and returning from Dunwich on Friday 2 August at 11:30am.

The caravan special can be booked online using the discount code of WINTERCARAVAN. The approx cost for a 5.4m vehicle and 8.5m caravan is $286.

The barge option times are:
Cleveland to Dunwich on 21 July 10:30am, 11:30, 12:30, 1:30pm, 3:00
Dunwich to Cleveland on 1 August 8:00am, 9:00, 10:00 11:30, 5:00pm

Minjerribah camping does not have any discount camping for longer stays so you can book online. We will be staying in Area I on Flinders Beach but if that fills up then nominate Area J.

Don’t forget to get your 1-month beach driving permit ($55.90) while booking your camping. Currently (16 April) the website will not allow you to book any dates in August so you have to ring up.

If you intend staying for different periods that is fine but please make sure that tides are suitable for your arrival and departure.
