Time for a REAL drive

[seangti]

UPDATED


G'day,

There's been talk of a drive, so I thought I'd propose the following. I'm going to do it SUNDAY 5th JULY regardless of anyone else coming or not, though thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone else would be keen. This isn't so much a social drive as it's quite long - though we will stop at some lookouts along the way to make it as casual and social as possible. Please check out pages 5 and 6, Cogdoc has recently done this drive and has attached photos to know what to expect (roads are sealed and can be rough in sections). It's my first drive organsied for this forum, so all I'll say is it's not a road to drive like a knob on, please be respectful to of this. Drive at the pace YOU are comfortable.

I've done this drive a few times and is an absolute sensation. It's a big day, should be less than 400km for brisbane and gold coast people, but none the less is quite a bit of driving on some of the twistiest and most scenic roads I know of in SEQ (not to mention low traffic).


I propose the Lions Road out the back of Beaudesert.

There are further links and maps throughout this thread. Please have a rough idea where we're going, also BRING A TWO WAY.

This drive will take place on Sunday 5th July.


The picnic ground at rathdowney is a good place to finish off the day, we may need to eat before than.

meeting points - I suggest that we all meet opposite Beaudesert mcdonalds before heading out together, there's plenty of room to line up if we need to. Only one set of lights to get through for the next few hundred km's too. maybe a 9-9.15am meet for a 9.30 departure?? open to suggestions.

For those that want to meet up before hand, perhaps propose a few places and sort out the route to Beaudesert relevant to where you live - and fuel required. There's no premium fuel outside of beaudesert, no idea if beaudesert has 98octane either. I'm down eightmile plains/springwood way so can meet at say springwood maccas if anyone wants.
