Fletch and I have been nutting out our zombie plans. We think a yacht is our best option - fishing can allow for enough food (although now that I think about it, I don't know how we would cook the fish), and the undead hordes can't get to us. We were considering snow, but food supply cuts off for a few months of the year, and I think zombies thaw OK, so really, you would just get one big wave as soon as it was warm enough for them to lurch again.
Oh no, I just thought - what are we going to do for drinking water on the boat? We can distill bits out of the ocean water using sunlight to heat the seawater, but that is seriously slow, and not going to be enough water to drink. I imagine a fairly large setup, using sunlight to heat the water (maybe we could rig up a lens to focus the rays?) and using seawater to condense the water? I can use the salt that we get out of it to preserve the fish to eat. Hmmmm... maybe the boat isn't the ideal haven that I had thought. Unless we get a boat with a desalination plant?
If anyone wants in, let us know, and we'll meet you in the harbour for the apocalypse.

Easy done, we use mirrors. Or aluminium foil, or whatever, so long as we can polish it and reflect it at a metal box (errant car bonnets?). Desalination and a heat source for cooking fish.
Additionally, it's fish. If there's one thing that Grandpa and sushi taught us, it's that you can pretty much eat a fish raw. You don't wanna have to, but in a pinch, I'd prefer raw fish to zombies.
You also forgot to mention that the outward goal of using a boat is that you can get to the more inaccessible and resourceable regions of the Queensland North coast. I'm sure crocs'd love them some Zombies. Nomnomnom.
Another thought occurred to me though - why not go bush? Like way out in the Katherine or Alice Springs or somewhere? I'm pretty sure zombies can't keep lurching once they become dessicated sacks of bones?
Something to ponder at least!
