David, how dare you call our public roads 'tracks'. Have a yarn with Anna Bligh and get her opinion on that.
But if you wish to remove the surface of the road by revolving your tyres beyond their recommended load rating and filling the air with the ensuing pollutants, then that is your affair.
I, on the other hand shall sedately trundle.

Ah, Belinda. You've been seduced by the word 'trundle' I see.
I look forward to meeting you once I get there.

Welcome Paul, any accent is more than tolerated, especially in the written word.
When we arrive at the Obi Obi Road turnoff to Mapleton, I suggest stopping just before or just after so as the cars that want to move a little quicker up the mountain should take the lead. Just before the assent the road becomes a one way road (no oncoming traffic) and is safe provided you don't hassle others, try to overtake or goad other road users. I remind you that it is going to hurt if you come off this particular piece of road, so take it easy and allow other road users to get well ahead before your assent.

Garion, Craig Freeman also from Bundy was enquiring if anyone else was travelling down from your area. He is on the other site, possibly try and hook up and travel together.

Just getting back to Paul for a moment. I acknowledge your desire to watch the V8 Supercars as I am an avid fan as well. I realise I should have taken that into account when organising this event. Luckily my wife will be at home to record it.
When the group gets to Mapleton, turn right and pass through Montville. A few K's past Montville is a lookout on your right, which is called 'Balmoral Lookout'. There is plenty of parking there.
From that point we drive to Maleny for lunch. I suggest we meet on the bridge after finding your own parking as it may not be easy. There is the Woolworths parking area right near the bridge you could try or just over the bridge and turn immediately left. See how you go. I'm open to suggestions as to the best place to eat.

I bailed mid way - sorry for not being able to tell anyone.

I overheated the car before we got to malaney on the uphill, sitting in second hoping for a chance to overtake the couple of cars which had split us and well anyway shortly later the car warned me of impending catastrophic failure.

It then overheated 2 more times after that while i was trying to catch up, but this time it was while got 20-30 in the towns.

This is a little bad news for me as it suddenly seems realistic that maybe i did some damage to the engine, perhaps just the gasket from boiling my coolant..

Sorry i couldn't tell anyone, i really should have written down some phone numbers or something :-)

Now i'm going to flush my coolant and sulk in my room

Sure was a great turn out. Not sure how many came.
Would have been even better if we had all stuck to the arrangement instead of breaking away at Eumundi and telling no-one what was happening or even waiting on the mountain range, or showing up for lunch in Maleny.
So what happened guys? how come no-one was notified of what your intentions were? I put my phone number up on this thread so as I could be contacted if someone needed to, but heard nothing.
Make your own arrangements next.

Yeah Mike, I agree. The cruise was hi-jacked. I bailed out from James's mob and returned to Eumundi for a great drive up the ranges with Mike, Carla and John.

Still it was a great lunch and the drive home completely missing the Bruce Highway was ace.

sorry mike, but i didnt wanna sit around for another 40 minutes. I spent 25 min at the caltex, then 25 min at Aussie world and it was certainly time for some mountains and actual cruising on the cruise.

I bailed and a few tagged on, we headed back down the freeway and went up to Montville, stopped at the pub, had a beer, then lunch was consumed.

I bailed after a beer and enjoyed some twisty sections in my GT and headed home via the glass house mountains.

My phone died also, which was a royale pain the ass so i could not call anyone nor could they contact me. Sorry about that.

The next one will be a ripper *keep your eyes on this area*
It will include you gold coasters also....

sorry i missed out on this, sold my motocross bike and the fella picked it up sunday morning instead of sat...booooo!!!!


Now i live up in the blackall ranges and my fav blast that i do regually is down the obi obi to kenilworth, through to imbil and on to gympie.... its a real blast.

The highway truely sucks and the tourist road around maleny, montville etc is easily as bad so how about a blast from nambour to gympie and back with no getting out of the car, just a drive through the hungry jacks at gympie as a quick 5 min break?

Hey guys i dunno about anyone else but i had a great time. Great turn out indeed, and yeah was a pity the group splited, i agree with James i just didnt want to stop too much was all. Anyway not to worry we can organise another one soon and have one stop in the morning and another for lunch.....just like the Somerset drive i recon.

Anyway a great day and good to meet those i had not met before and always great to catch up with the guys i already know.

Pity Paul Drane had to go and couldnt stay, however Paul Bell that sounds like a good one.....any else Keen??????

People who like to drive rather than sit around, come down to the Gold Coast one night and we'll do Natural Bridge Run. Can be as short as an hour, or as long as 3 depending on if we come back through QLD or NSW. No traffic, no cops, just a nice spirited drive.

Yea, helps me wind down after finishing work late. It's a road very suited to the soarer, no hairpins, gentle corners and lots of straight sections. Going during the day isn't as good, lots of traffic, although the scenery is nice. Might pass only one, maybe two, cars the whole way if heading out there past 11pm.

Well within a fortnight i'll fix my cooling issues (like not sitting behind some random vectra at 4XXXrpm in second waiting for them to not be using both lanes in a overtaking section) and will enjoy getting back out there. It was rad meeting quite a few of you guys and i was really angry I fell behind and had to bail.
