Here's a rough map. Not set in stone. Departure/meet points not shown except Springwood which seems the usual Brisbane Sth side meet up.

Need someone to nominate somewhere on Gold Coast, preferably on the south bound side of motorway, to meet. Then we can decide on times.

Cheers, Leon.

Umm, that link works for me. I even changed IP address & computer & clicked the link. Still works.

Try this (in full): http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=204827697789425650374.0004b68fdddc226e15477

Anyone who can't see it let me know & I'll see what else I can do.

Will be good to have you along John.

Found a place near Natural Bridge that could be a nice stop for lunch. Two Pines Cafe, 3175 Nerang-Murwillumbah Road. Spoke with them & they have the standard cafe food (pies, burgers -from $8.50, steak sandwiches 'bout $15, full meals as well) so won't break the bank & hopefully suits most people. Still open to suggestions tho'.

According to Google maps street view, they have easy access parking for 10 cars. They told me they would open up the block next door (weather permitting) if we needed more room.

Ok everyone, the cruise is tomorrow. No one has suggested departure times, so I'll take a stab at it.

Springwood: (McDonalds car park) 9:30 for 10am departure

Elanora: (Salk Oval car park - near The Pines Shopping centre) 10:30 for 11am departure

Anywhere else along the way, please organise amongst yourselves. I'll be at Elanora as I'm coming up from the south. I think I'll do the Tomewin road on the way there to refresh my memory.

If the travelling times I've suggested are unrealistic, someone please let me/us know & offer an alternative.

We will also stop at either (or some/all) Murwillumbah, Crystal Ck, Chillingham for a coffee, chat, toilet break etc, then on to lunch near Natural Bridge. We should easily get there by 12:30 depending on how often/long we stop.

Today I picked up 2 GoPro cameras & have 1 pointing front & back.

They are set up for full 1080P (HD & widescreen) & I'll try to mix up my road position to get good footage of every car.

So here's a small incentive to show up: I will burn the video to a DVD & post a copy to every car owner/driver on the cruise!

Of course no tunnel footage will be allowed, lol.

It should be a good cruise, hope to see heaps of people there.

Cheers, Leon.

Get some pics up, pissed I couldn't get there today, had to help my dad with some things around the house... Not happy but at least I got beer out of it...

[Commsman]

Sorry, I was having too much fun to take any pics. I have good video of some of the roads we drove. Will edit a small clip or 2 & post sometime.

So sollly. Missed this one. Just too much going on in the Art Gallery ATM. Now the Hols are over I have more time. So I will be back at the Stagea coal face for a few weeks.

Sorry I missed it! Broke my toe, so I won't be driving or wearing shoes for a while!
