Gestalt,
Trying to do some long term planning (holidays etc) and I know it's still along way off, but am wondering whether you have any possible dates for Burrum Windfest.

PS - pm'd you but didn't get a response.

hi sausage,

yep no worries, can do.

burrum will be on again in march as per previous years.

paperwork has gone off to MSQ with the prelim dates of march 18th-21st 2011, don't book just yet but that's the official dates at this stage.

tides look good and arrangements are being made for the comp.

it is still early though.

i guess it's official now.

burrum windfest 2011 is on again!!!!!

So, anything on in October in Queensland? Will be up around FNQ Mob area, mid October and wondering off down the Coast over the next two months to Melbourne. But October 2010, ???

you are always welcome to come along to a wanderers meet if the timing is right. around that time we will be hitting north kirra on tha gold coast and maybe even mooloolaba on the sunshine coast.

There is a new speed competition series coming to seq over the next few months, more will be released over the coming weeks and yes there will be an event in october and we anticipate a Qld Speed Titles sometime early in the new year.

There is also a place at Hervey Bay called Gattaga's Bay, though I'm sure I have not spelt that right, which is supposed to be really good. I've never been there, but the Hervey Bay crew used to rave about it.
Elliott Hds works well in a northerly out the front, not so good in the river, though a NW can be good on a higher tide. The sandbanks out the front are really good. There are a few rocks on a really low tide out in front of the beach.
