Recce tomorrow for a SEQ GCLRO/AULRO Social Trip

**drivesafe** · 28th February 2009, 12:51 PM

Hi folks and this is short notice but as the weather is going to be fine tomorrow, a GCLRO/AULRO Social Trip is well and truly overdue. To this end, I am running a recce out around Duck Creek Road tomorrow, to see if it is suitable for a trip.

I haven’t been out there for about 18+ months so I thought I would do a recce of the road and find a few suitable Wineries in the area.

My idea being to start at one winery, do our trip and finish at another winery, and if convenient, possibly visit a third winery on the trip.

If there are any interested in coming along on the recce tomorrow, or if there are any ideas for a trip, please post away here.

At this stage, if there are some interested tag-alongs for tomorrow, I’m thinking of starting at the winery, in Vineyard Way, which is off Mundoolun Connection Rd, about 500mts east of the Mundoolun Connection and Beaudesert - Beenleigh road intersection.

This is about 45 minutes from the Gold Coast and Brisbane’s southern and western suburbs.

Anyway, any interested takers, either PM me or post up here, and post a meeting time you think would be suitable.

Cheers.

Thanks Tim. I'll come along for the drive. Happy to meet you on Mundoolun Connection Rd at whatever time you nominate.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Mark, I was thinking about 9:30 because the first winery probably doesn’t open till about 10.

I’m trying to find a web link to the wineries in the area and will get the exact opening time.

BTW, We are taking a packed lunch, just in case we can’t get a feed on the road.

Cheers Mark and see you in the morning.

Thanks Tim. See u then.

Hi Mark, the winery opens at 10 am so don’t rush, any time between 9:30 and 10 will work.

After tracking down the wineries in the area, I think I’ll have to have a winery crawl up over Mount Tambourine some time.

See you tomorrow.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM, it didn’t!

Long story short. I stuffed up.

Will do it again soon.

And I’m not saying any more!

I got bored with work today so went there for a look around.

The gnarly terrain

The road below

The scenery is great

The track is in very good condition. You could get a Commodore up there.

I followed a Tarago up there once...

So when is this trip happening?

**Outlaw** · 6th March 2009, 12:00 AM

Will sort out a date with Drivesafe over the next few days... expect the trip to be within the next month
