Planning for Australian FJ owners rally

[The General]

What are you writing Kevvy ?

I suspect he`s busy doing the maths!
" .....if tha Canadian dollar is only worth 78 cents U.S. and tha Aussie dollar is worth more than my Canadian dollar, that means I make a profit on every dollar invested in Australian tourism!" ....Square feet assessments he can do in his head!
(unless of course they`re on my footpegs!)

Doug is right..... I get lost whenever negotiating the grey areas......calculating the price and executing the turns can sometimes end up on the low side of an investment........I therefore resign myself to the "cry for help" (or scratching the head)approach. Knowing how the exchange between friends can ultimately lead to a solid return and an eternal reward .......both in time and commerce. Your counsel and direction is requested...........as I am currently ready to invest !!!!!

Ray seems to have them all worked out. There are a lot but the surfaces are a bit rough

[Bones]

There's a couple around that way that I know of Ken. There's the one from Esk up the range via Perserverance dam, Murphys creek rd, another one that goes from Withcott to Flagstone creek rd then via back roads winds its way up to the New England highway, but there's a small bit of dirt on that one.

Depends on what people want, good roads but not much scenery, or scenic but so so roads. Might have to get everyone to put all their ideas in a hat at the Muster over a few beers and work out a route.

[X-Ray]

I'm happy to go out anytime and have a look around, ride some suggested routes etc Richard, Bones and anyone else to get some feedback going. But yes, one of my faves is Picnic Point-Flagstone Creek Road-Ma Ma Creek-Clifton-Leyburn etc. Has a bit of everything, scenic, twisty, open plains with narrow roads ( bugger all cars) nice.  it really is a nice run along Gatton-Clifton Road, it goes from farming/plains to hilly/mountainous, following Ma Ma Creek for a bit, then spits you out of the range overlooking the plains of the Darling Downs, its magical. Theres probably a lot more to see out that way, just have to go exploring,  

But heres a map link I did of a run a while back with some workmates,

Some piccies-- Picnic Point/Ma Ma Creek/Gatton-Clifton Road.  Flagstone Creek road coming down the back of the range from Picnic Point is a bit of an eye opener in a couple of sections.

After a somewhat interesting ride to Esk to look at a rally venue I was surprised to find the Grand Hotel under renovations. It should be a great venue if it is completed on time.. I will make inquires to see ...

[roverfj1200]

The Grand Hotel in Esk is planning to open September this year so will be well and truly ready for us in March. I will stay in touch with them and let everyone know when to book accommodation. There a 2 motels in town a short walk from the Venue and also a Caravan park.

Any updates fellas?

[ribbert]

OK all you banana benders, how hot and how humid is going to be in 5 weeks time?

Noel

[X-Ray]

Still expect it to be around 29-30 degrees through the day Noel. Probably a pleasant 20 degrees at night, but I say bring on winter. Had enough of this damn summer
