To celebrate the completion of the Power of One, hosted by Vyse, I am organising a three trip day to Fraser Island, between the 7th and 9th of February 2011. This trip has been tailored with the budget traveller in mind. The more, the merrier -- so join us!

WHY SHOULD YOU GO?
ROUGH ITINERARY:
Monday
FLIGHT INFORMATION FROM MELBOURNE
Getting there from Melbourne (Flying Tiger), I will be catching these flights if people want to join the same flight:
06 Feb 11, Sun
TT 5204
MEL 11:50 hrs BNE 13:00 hrs (If you are not going to attend SummerSmash, otherwise book an earlier flight)
Discount Sale Fare 54.86 AUD
09 Feb 11, Wed
TT 5207
BNE 20:05 hrs MEL 23:30 hrs
Discount Sale Fare 54.77 AUD
EXPENDITURES:
If you're from Melbourne or Sydney = Range between $260 - $285
If you're from SEQ = Range between $140 - $265
HELP NEEDED FROM QUEENSLANDERS:
If there are those from SEQ who are able to drive everyone to Rainbow Beach with their own vehicles, we can reduce our costs significantly by averting the use of Greyhounds. Addtionally, if we have more people in our travel group, we can save more by hiring a Manual Transmission Troop Carrier, and through accomodation costs.
WHAT TO BRING:
This information will be updated and sent to attendees.
But most importantly, don't forget to bring your favourite tunes!
ENDING NOTE:
Please help by confirming your attendance as soon as possible, and please be committed to attending it after your confirmations. This helps me better plan for the event and keep costs down and options open. It also helps me to better coordinate people. I would like a response from everyone within 2 weeks, the sooner the better, so accomodations can be acquired.

In case you're wondering, a trip like this, post tournament, has been done before. At the end of Comrades of Kaydash in 2007, a bunch of us went down to Bryon Bay for the night:
Sloth was Jesus for a day. And Zac got laid.
