Gees, don't get online for a couple of hours and it all happens!
Another great SE Qld meet up is forming and details are firming:
When: Sunday 10th July
Where: Fingal Headland
Time: TBA but around 5:30am
Does anyone know if there are BBQ facilities or a suitable place to eat close by?
I will bring my portable BBQ and frypan and everyone is free to use it.
I haven't worked out how to post maps onto AP yet so if somebody could do me the favour of posting the map?
I love it when a plan comes together.

Down by the River just as you drive into Fingal, There's a little Boat harbour thingy with a shelter and BBQ

Fingal on a Sunday sounds good to me. I'll poke my lens up for pre-dawn then sunrise shoot and brekkie afterwards. If we get up to the lighthouse early enough there might be star trail opps too.
For dawn shooting at the lighthouse, meetup would be at the end of Lighthouse Parade, where there is a parking area. It's about a 10 minute walk out and there are some stairs. From there we can go down to either of the beaches, or back to the cars and move them up to the parking area where the BBQs are, near the surf club (see map below).

Thanks Bill and Odille, I will have to work out how to post maps one day
My source say Sunrise at 6 37 am so 5 30 looks about right if we hot foot it from the car park. High tide is about 9 20am ( thats a rubbery figure at the moment).
whoo hoo finally one that I can make it too as well, sunday is great for me, never been there before so thank you for the maps...see you all there...
OK, I'm in if Andrew can pick me up, I like his Air-Con , Better start making a list of who's coming so we know who to look out for Andrew, And a contact Mobile number for the lost ones
