You have a fair point about the gap village. I like the bunnings however as it has easy access and we wont have people getting lost in the carpark like last time. On the other hand I will be pulling into the large BP on waterworks road like last time to allow everyone to make sure they have fule. Also, theres a BP at the end of this run, same one we stoped at on the december run.
I can change the meeting point to the gap village however im worried it might be a bit late for that and we will loose people.
List of stops:
1. Bunnings (will post address in a tic, watch this space)
2. Large BP on waterworks Road
3. Jollies Lookout
4. The lookout ontop of clear mountain. Its kind of just a dirt patch so im not sure if it has a name
5. Mt Mee lookout. Great lookout, has clear public facilities, good view, heaps of parking, a little undercover area. Good spot for photos.
6. BP we stoped at in the december run (cant remember the name). Cruise will stop here, people are free to make there way home in small groups.
Roads/turns Taken:
1. Waterworks road
2. Mt Nebo Road
3. Arrive at jollies lookout
4. Turn left from jollies when leaving. Follow this road until you get to the samford turn off. Take this. Be advised, tight corners, when they say 60 kph they really do mean it on some of thoes corners.
5. Follow the road your on once you get off the mountain until you hit a large roundabout with a caltex on the left hand corner. Turn left at this roundabout. Please try to limit BOV / Noise through here as were going up the guts of samford and im sure the residents wouldnt appreciate all the racket.
6. Turn right onto (road name pending). Follow this road until you see clear mountain road. Well signed.
7. Follow clear mountain road until you arrive at the top. The lookout is a sharp bend round a blind right hand 90 degree corner, it has a large dirt patch to the left with a great view and a hotel on the right ontop of the hill the corner go's around.
8. Continue in direction we were going before we stoped at the lookout. This will take you to the bottom of the mountain. Turn left and follow this for about 5 - 10 mins, you will arrive in a town and the road will eventually bend round to the right with another road going off to the left. Follow the turn to the right, the the next left, then follow the signs to mt mee. After stoping at the meeting point, continue on down mt mee road until you arrive at another T intersection, turn right and follow your nose, it will lead you to the BP and then to brisbane / home.
In total last night we left at about 8:30 and got home at about 12:30. We didnt do nebo, just headed straight out to samford, but we got lost once and I had to pull over for 30 mins when the ECU decided it didnt like vortex 98 so the whole run should take about 4 hours or so.
Thats all for now. Works busy atm so ill update the blanks and stuff later on.
