[numpty]

anyone interested in a quick get together come sausage sizzle in SEQ ?

i am prepared to host or organise it if people are prepared to come along.....

Inc,

You'll never get everyone to agree so maybe you should just pick a date and time and go with that

If it suits, the missus and I will come ( of course, depending on the date I may be on Hamilton Is )

[LoadedDisco]

If it is a weekend I have off I will attend. It will be good to meet some AULRO members and a BBQ sounds like a good idea.

[Reads90]

Yeah i be up for that

[Quiggers]

Name the date and I'll do my best to be there.

GQ

[weeds]

yep interested, don't have to many plans for the weekends between now xmas, i'm sure they will start filling up soon

[Captain_Rightfoot]

That would be great :) If we're around we would love to come along. :)

[UncleHo]

G'day Inc.
Yeah, count me and the manager in on that :)

[drivesafe]

Sounds like a great idea, set a date, time and place to get the ball rolling.

[MickG]

I'm definitely in........if it's in November.....as I'm away all of December.

Aye, Mick

[Outlaw]

Yep sounds good to me depending on dates... how's Saturday 2nd December work for people???

[VladTepes]

Not even sure of these yet but weekends I MIGHT be available are:

Nov 25/26 Dec 16/17 Dec 23/24

All the others I;m working.

Just FYI.

It's not ALL about me. LOL

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Great idea,,
How about Lenthals Dam??

we can do some "flexing" thru the pine forests:D

[weeds]

Great idea,,
How about Lenthals Dam??

where the hell is that

[fernockulated]

hmmmmmm,am working every w/e between now and xmas(fraser is worth it!!!) but may be interested and may have to pull a sickie somewhere,otherwise will be another one i miss:( :( :(

[Pedro_The_Swift]

C'mon big K,,
get that map out---:p

[Utemad]

I might come dependant on dates.


Great idea,,
How about Lenthals Dam??

I wouldn't bet on those pine forests still being there by then. They are pretty keen to have it logged in the very near future. I should be going up there for a look on Thursday with the prospect of buying some of it.

All I know at the moment about it's location is it is up at Maryborough somewhere.

[weeds]

Great idea,,
How about Lenthals Dam??

good thig google can spell, oops i shouldn't say to much

it's fringin miles away, is it worth a weekend trip???

Built in 1984 on the Burrum River, about 30 kilometres northwest of Maryborough, Lenthalls Dam is reached by turning off the Bruce Highway about halfway ...

[RobHay]

Yep ! Me too.......depending on work.

works BOTH ways guys----

anyway,, just a suggestion:p

[RobHay]

What about the car park outside of Dave's shop :D That way we can keep an eye on his plate glass windows and the rest and do some flexing on the speed bumps:angel: :) ;)

[weeds]

[Pedro_The_Swift]

start calling you Ron,:p

[drivesafe]

Here’s another suggestion but might be a bit far south.

How’s about O'Rielly's and Duck Creek Rd.

Inc, what about that picnic ground we went to at the bottom of Duck Creek Rd.

Cheers.

between buggery and the black stump !

[Pedro_The_Swift]

"All the new facilities will be wheelchair accessible."
well that fixes up Vlad

"A new boat ramp has been installed and powerboats up to 4.5 kilowatts (6 horsepower) are allowed but speeds are restricted to a maximum of 4 knots ensuring a quiet ambience for the enjoyment of all visitors."
and that sorts out Seqfisho

not from me! I'd be interested, but depends on when I'm on call, give us a defeinite date and place, please.

[Outlaw]

How're we going Inc... decided on a date and venue?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

no pressure Inc,,:p:p

[incisor]

you sure ?

[incisor]

does the park just up from the toowong botanic gardens still have bbq facilities?

thats about as central as it gets.....

we could always do a vlad and have it at the bbq's in the upper park land at roma street.... plenty of room for the kiddies etc etc etc ?


still looking.... and th date..... hmmmmmmm

[Grizzly_Adams]

Count me in (date depending of course).

If we're looking for a venue I could prolly convince my Mum that we could use her place. It's an acre up at Bracken Ridge - not overly central I know but I also know what the facilities are like :D

Let me know if you're interested and I can check it with Mum :angel:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

can she handle 20 odd Landrovers in her driveway?:D

[discomaniac]

Will be there, depending on the date.

[rar110]

What about under the river side express way near kangaroo point cliffs. There's parking, a view of the river, lectic bbqs, not sure about swings etc for the kids. If swings are an issue I could go do a recce.

very central.

If it's in Dec I might even have my car on the road to bring along. :D

[OLR-067]

how about settlement cove at redcliffe....nice and easy for me...hehehe:angel:

[FenianEel]

Sounds good Inc. I'm in depending on date

[UncleHo]

G'day Folks :)

Settlement Cove,Redcliffe, Nudgee Beach (BBQ's, parking, beachfront,child safe). Bribie Island Passage side, elec BBQ's, shelter sheds, water swimming, safe for kids,fishing, or the Surf Side BBQ's, shade trees, parking, bridge access,shops open all weekend, :) even Ferno can find it:D Colmslie Park, there are a few ideas, or as Inc said Botanic Gardens Mt. Cootha, or the Old Gardens in the city.



cheers

[DiscoTDI]

If you move it close to christmas Ill be down on the 22nd December so the 23rd would be good:D

[MarknDeb]

What about Bunya parkland along Old Northern Road Mcdowall, heaps of space for kids (small & large) and parking, it has a few BBQ's.


MarknDeb
;)

[Grizzly_Adams]

Some damn good ideas there. My favourites are the Botanical Gardens up near Mt Cootha or Nudgee Beach :)

.. and in answer to your question Pedro_The_Swift (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/member.php?u=8499), I'm sure we could find room to park 20+ land rovers at Mum's place - though I'm not so sure there'd be much yard left by the time we'd finished :D:cool:

does your mum have a swimming pool otherwise mt cootha sounds good, nudgee could get uncomfortable if the wind blows up

[incisor]

will chase things up further next week...

will be off to goondiwindi in the wee hours of the morning and wont be back till sunday night......

[Grizzly_Adams]

Nah weeds no swimming pool, but we have a small pond that you can paddle your feet in :D

always looking at ways to entertain the kids so that they do not interupt drinking time

[Grizzly_Adams]

Point taken, fair enough :beer:

[rar110]

Colmslie park is a very good idea.

It's on the Brisbane river, has BBQs, big playground (incl flying fox thing), shelters, heaps of parking, close to Gateway for those coming in from north and Gold Coast. A bit of a beach on the river. Brisbane Range Rover club go there I think. Colmslie fish markets next door for those wanting some seafood.










Its also about 15 min drive from my place.:cool:

is that near the hockey? and touch football fields

from memory it is a big area, lucky i drive a tdi so i can afford the gateway toll:cool:

No its up at the round about and down to Sams seafood. The park at the hocky fields is less crowded has toilets and a play area. It also has a large carpark because of the boat ramp. Both are good parks and easy to get to from the gateway

[Pedro_The_Swift]

instead of the local council park,,
why not a 4WD park?
Black duck or landcruiser or landrover or someother place where there are other options than just a 'lectric bbq,,,
and that way, saturday people can attend, sunday people can attend, or overnighters can attend..

???????

[CHRIS aka GWH]

mainland up till dec 17 then i'm "overseas",

how about cylinder beach camping ground after december 17 huh?



then my orange s3 could meet your orange s3 incisor and .......

[LoadedDisco]

Why not arrange to get use of the Gabba on a weekend its not in use and all the Landy's can park on the oval and have BBQ's set up in the middle of the pitch. :cool:
Make for interesting reading.

can you imagine all the dead patches :o:D

[crump]

probably wont be there myself, but Bullockys Rest or McGavins view at Lake Samsonvale might fit the bill, all facillities and you can keep the kids entertained Bass fishing or checking the Redclaw pots.

[crump]

Don't know that you'd be doing much fishing or yabbying at Bullocky's Rest at the moment.
This used to be one of our regular evening events...Bullocky's Rest, BBQ dinner, a load of yabby traps and hey presto the evening full until about midnight, then home to cook the yabbys. Haven't been able to do it for years now due to low water and weed in the dam. Still make a great spot though for a BBQ and drinking esp if we go on late into the evening.

so I imagine the picnic ground at Torrens Road on Lake Kurwongbah is in the same boat??

[RobHay]

are yes mt mee, we do owe u one

Mt Mee !!!!!! Never again ......Had to come home that way the other night........Dag Highway blocked between Woodford and Wamuran....Looking at 45 minute delay so fellow officer states " I know way around, brings you out at Wamuran" so 50 odd cars follow him.

Never been that way in our lives......idiot sets off at 100 + klm /h , trying to keep up so that we didn't end up spending the night in the woods was a nighmare. Going up in the dark was scarey, coming down the other side with burnt out brakes was worse, :o missus was in the car ( she works with me, but I seriously outrank her :D ) Told her about the brakes once I arrived back on flat ground.........haven't been back to work since but will have to arrange a rollcall to see whether we still have all the boys.

[RobHay]

Nah weeds no swimming pool, but we have a small pond that you can paddle your feet in :D


........and when Weeds isn't paddling we could try some water crossings :D

[DiscoTDI]

So when is it happening:confused:

[weeds]

will chase things up further next week...

will be off to goondiwindi in the wee hours of the morning and wont be back till sunday night......

inc are you back, no pressure

[crump]

Bump.????

[incisor]

inc are you back, no pressure

back, and busy as hell......

as for pressure, i thrive on it :P

well i used to :P:P

organise it and away we go... :P



anyone drive past or near the park at toowong just up from the botanical gardens, that can drop by in daylight and see if it can handle 20 car loads of landy people?

just rang a mate 'toyota driver' who drives the western freeway everyday, hes going to try and slip down there tonight on the way home from work providing he is not running late to pick up his daughter

[weeds]

would it be hoop pine/silky oak picnic areas we are looking at???

https://www.epa.qld.gov.au/media/parks_and_forests/parks/bfp_mtcootha.pdf

[weeds]

ok found another map

hoop pine does not have bbq facilities

silky oak, jc slaughter and another does have bbq facilities

http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/BCCWR/facilities/documents/10.PDF?xml=/BCC:PDFHITXML:1585138626:svDocNum=1

[MarknDeb]

Ok how about this one, we have been there many times with the family (big family) Rocks Riverside Park, Seventeen Miles Rocks. If everyone get there early enough you certainly wil have more than enough parking. The BBQ are electric and in pairs, heaps of grassed area and play area for the kids, the water side is turned off due to water restriction tho but our kids still have a good time there and so do we. I hope this can be of some help

http://www.whereis.com/whereis/confirmedMap.do?nref=getMap

[incisor]

okay,

3rd of december looks like being the date....

venue

i think jc slaughter falls OR somewhere nearby eg Rocks Riverside Park

it is central and easy for the majority of people to get to.

anyone needing an overnight stay is welcome at my place....

[scrambler]

The park in Toowong opposite the bus depot?

Used to live right next to it. Can handle a lot more than 20 carloads, but we'd need to get there fairly early with that number. Don't know the BBQ situation but kids play equipment is reasonable. Trees are also good for climbing (well, it was a long time ago I used to live near there...)

Oh, and wherever it is, put me down as coming as well.

[weeds]

by chance i had to do a job in town this afternoon so i took a detour to mt cootha and had a good look

best to worst

jc slaughter start
there is a set of toilets. when you pass the toilets on the right u than cross a little bridge and there is a good area on the left, plenty of parking, shade around the edge of a big grass area and at least one BBQ

jc slaughter bottom end
much the same as above, i reckon it would be more popular, parking not as good, has toilets

simpson falls bottom end
great area, toilets, BBQ's. the only problem is the picnic area is on the other side of the gully, would mean carring eskies chairs etc, parking not to bad

hoop pine
has toilet, not much shade, big carpark, big open grass area and a couple of BBQ's

silky oak
good under cover area, BBQ's, smallest carpark but would fit us all, plenty of shade, no toilet

like to park opposite the bus depot, first in best dressed

inc best you decide as i don't want to be held accountable

[Mick-Kelly]

Greetings all
Im back from 3 ish years of purgatory in the Isa. My word hasnt this site changed a bit. Im lurking on the Chrissy gathering details. Hoping to have another old series project bubbling away by then.

Got a PM from Numpty reminding me that this get together was on - now I feel a bit slack since I have work to do that I guess I could really put off until Monday.

My only other reason for balking at this is I am not sure what kind of hook-nosed in-breds I am going meet there in real life! It's one thing to tap away to each other on-line, but actually meeting and putting faces to the avatars is a bit daunting. This is kind of like internet dating - but with 50 other people at once, and I guess I am also afraid of what others on the forum might think about my...um, how do I put it delicately...face?

We'll see how we go and hopefully, on Sunday, the veil of anonymity will be lifted, for some.

[Grizzly_Adams]

I haven't got too many pimples - honest!

Also my nose is more like a beak than a hook, but each to their own :D

[DiscoTDI]

I wish I could be there, have a good time all:D

Well what a relief... not a hook nose in sight. Some interesting facial hair - some on the blokes too... but on the whole a very friendly and relatively normal bunch of people, for Landrover owners that is.

I still think we need to get big magnetic signs with our on-line names to stick onto our vehicles (oh hang on, aluminium doesn't work does it). Then how about those removable stickers to put on the windscreens? Does anybody know an electrocut-sign thingy guy? We could then use them at every meeting/outing/get together so people can be linked to their rides. (Those with split-screen series Landies might need to cut their's in half)

Good work Inc. for suggesting this and making it happen.
