2nd Chance Cruise/bbq To The Gold Coast

[long33]

Time to update this thread as the date is getting closer. seen as mark ruined the suprise this is whats happening, were going to see the GLOWWORMS up at mt Springbrook. Nice drive up the mountain, losta room to spread the backend of the cars out (no drifting allowed) haha and yea a really nice view wen we get to the caves. the glowworms are a natural phenomenon in the caves up ther that do what their names suggest, they glow in the dark and light the cave up at night.

HERES THE PLAN

Brisbane cruisers:

Meeting at myer car park-hyperdome at 2.30 to leave at 2.45

Head down the highway to meet the coasties at mudgee sporting grounds(next to the skate park).

Gold Coasters:

meet up at the mudgee sporting grounds(next to the skate park) around 3 and by 3.15 the brissy boys should arrive

From there we will head to a bbq area and have a bbq.After that we will head to the bottom of the mountain and climb it.

get up the mountain, maybe stop along the way for group fotos, park up and then head to the highLIGHT of the cruise.

Afterwards we could go for coffee sumwhere maybe in surfers or just cruise back up to brissy. wont be too late, its gettin dark at like 7ish these days so should be back down the mountain by 7.45 which would have the brissy guys home before 9pm for bedtime lol.

items essential:-

cb radios

petrol

some food for the bbq

a torch

warm clothes and shoes, no thongs or singlets lol.

rugs incase the tables and chairs are covered in bird poo.

I think iv covered everything. if not let me know. really wana make a good day outa this, unlike the last one.

Ok this is a second chance cruise after the failure of the Mt Cootha cruise last month. Me and Mark have been out and about scouting out good spots for a cruise and we think we have finally found one.

We are hoping to avoid the problems we encountered last time including people getting lost in high traffic areas and police involvement scaring people off. To avoid certain people finding out where we are guna be im guna post more details in pm's to people who show genuine interest.

The destination is an amazing site, i have not been myself yet but have wanted to go for ages, the misses has been and so has mark (hopefully not together!) and they both reckon its pretty amazing. Due to the nature of the destination the cruise will be an afternoon/evening cruise so the bbq will be "dinner". Depending on what people would like to do we can head to the destination early and spend the day up there or we could leave it till later on in the avo to get there.

The destination is up a rather hilly area, similar to the drive up mt cootha so for u windy road people you should feel right at home. At the top there are bbq facilities and plenty of parking space. its on the gold coast so for brissy boys u will need a full tank of fuel to begin the day with.

would love to keep it skylines only but i dont see the point in not having others there so invite ur friends the more the merrier.

also it would be nice if a few peeps could help out with food (depending on how many want to come that is)

HERES THE PLAN

Brisbane cruisers:

Probably meeting at myer car park-hyperdome at 2.30 to leave at 2.45

Head down the highway to meet the coasties at hungry jacks

Gold Coasters:

meet up at hungry jacks, mudgereba around 3 and wait for brissy boys

(A visit to the spit could also be organised before we meet at hungry's for those "spit regulars")

From there we will head to the bottom of the mountain and climb it.

get up the mountain, meet and greet, maybe stop along the way for group fotos,

set up and have some dinner in the form of a bbq, then wen it gets dark we will head further up the mountain.

Afterwards we could go for coffee sumwhere maybe in surfers or just cruise back up to brissy. wont be too late, its gettin dark at like 7ish these days so should be back down the mountain by 7.45 which would have the brissy guys home before 9pm for bedtime lol.

bahaha.. we might have..

the Mt cootha BBQ didnt go quite to plan. but it was good for us that wer ther and was worth the effort. this time round will be better organised and i will be co-organising this with darren.

ill update this post with the list of attendees meeting at Hyperdome myer carpark. the more the merrier

the trip is 65-70kms down ther its not much hardly anything.. (ill bring a bunch of tools for the skyrines for when they break :lol:) the roads are a better surface than nebo and are quite a nice set of corners. it is well worth it. what u will see in the caves is Glow worms. something u wont see in the city. this will practically be a nature themed sau meet.. i personally think it will be good to stretch the legs and some of queenslands natural Beauty upclose. its not often u get to experience our great natural backyard breathe cool fresh air and why not with a bunch of friends and members with a BBQ.

BBQ facilities from memory are 50m from the carpark at natural arche. and the caves and waterfalls are a 500m walk.

or we can have the BBQ in surfers. head to the spit have a cruisey arvo at goldcoast and those wanting to go up the mountain afterwards can

due to having the event with such short notice we are prepared to reshedule if the date doesnt suit people im sure we will be able to sort it out and adapt to suit the majority..

post up interest hope to get over a dozen coming down and sticking with us.

My mobile number is 0400 793 618 if u need to contact me.
