Re: Brisbane Cruise around xmas? - LONG!	Tue, 04 November 2003 14:22

to help choose a route, i've put PDFs of two maps covering SeQ on my server (these are very BIG, download only if you need to): <http://members.optushome.com.au/mkhala/red_celica/ drive_map/> Numbers below only refer to highway numbers on maps above. I was going to suggest as possible treks: start Mt Cootha head to The Gap take <31> to Mt Nebo (instead of going via Samford) onto Mt Glorious stop for lunch go west then north to Dundas (at back of Wivenhoe dam) then up to Somerset Dam to look at large body of water (swim?) go south-west to Esk take <17> back to Brisbane via Somerset Dam (not swimable?) take Ipswich bypass instead of going into town stop at Colleges Crossing (Moggill) for off-highway stop (swim?) folks head home via western suburbs or back out onto Ipswich Rd back to city or start Mt Cootha head to Samford via The Gap, Keperra, Ferny Grove, etc stay on <22> and head to Dayboro climb Mt Mee (lots of twisty corners and sweepers!) stop after Mt Mee village for a break up to D'Aguilar & Woodford turn right onto <53> and go to Maleny via Stanmore, Cedarton (road from there to Maleney is sealed and good - map out of date?) stop for lunch outside of Maleny (is full of yuppies on days-off) go down range to Landsborough then over to Caloundra (or to Mooloolaba) or head bank down old highway to Brisbane (via Beewah, Beerburrum, Cabulture, Morayfield, etc) Alternatove ending for this is to after lunch return (following our tracks) from Maleny head west to Kilkoy when you get to the <85> down to Somerset dam cross river south of dam head for Brisbane Forest Park and onto Mt Glorious option ot return home via Samford/Ferny Grove or the windy road right to th Gap. A southward suggestion was: head south to Jimbomba on <13> go south-east to North Tamborine drive up Tamborine Mt stop for break on to Upper Coomera then head south via Maudsland and Mount Nathan turn right before hitting Nerang then south to Advancetown further south then a choice of Natural Bridge or Purlingbrook Falls and onto Springbrook (my pref.) return by same route or join Motorway at Nerang. My bike-riding mates suggest going all the way to NSW: highway to Beaudesert onto Rathdowny cross border via the Lions Road stop at Woodenbong South east to Kyogle up to Murwillumbah then on to the coast highway before back to Brisbane on Motorway but it's a big day of driving the maps came from Touring Atlas from Hema Maps (sorry for scanning your book) - i'll bring it to test-n-tune if requested. oh, sorry about the moire patterns in the tinted areas of the maps - i couldn't be bothered to de-screen 'em when scanning.
