Thanks guys.

It doesn't sound like I would be too stretched by this drive or need a 4wd.

I'm thinking that we'll spend 10-14 or so days to allow us to make stop-offs to surf :D

Cheers

How safe will it be to leave my wife on the beach while I'm in the water - she's a boogie boarder, but tends not to go out if it looks a bit heavy. Cheers a...

board size

what's the biggest board people ride e.g. cold water, lots of rubber, small take off zone, get in early, lots of wankers (drop ins, snaking around paddling), fins/no-fins ??

sounds awesome...

No need to rent a car? Are they okay with taking a board on the bus?

I like the fiance comment hahahahaha ....... she's the "excuse" for the trip (work related)!

She boogie boards - should we bother bringing her board or buy down there?
