QLD - Expression of Interest for May 2011 Trip

[Bigrig]

Howdy

Well, it's been a month since LCMP, and a week since Beerburrum, and let's face it, I'm itching to get out again. Appreciate Easter is approaching fast and most people would have plans (including me), but thinking we should try to lock in a trip for May ...

Open to suggestions of locations and dates - would love to get all the LCMP attendees back again, as well as others who haven't had the chance as yet.

To throw it open, I'd do LCMP again as it has a great variety of tracks etc, but happy to go anywhere. Thinking the second last or last weekend in May. We have a truckload of members in the south east now, so would be awesome to catch up.

Over to you!!

[Dhuck]

Sounds good. Me and my lot don't care where. Adam wants to go his with his missus and would like Fairy land.

I think we are going to have to change your status from tool box full of hammers to The Toey S.E.Q. Event Organizer

[Finly Owner]

What about scenic rim park? say late May?

Tim

[nickpeacock36]

I'm interested. LCMP was awesome, is scenic rim similar?

[Ben-e-boy]

I'm Keen to go somewhere in May I like the idea of a 4wd park. any park suits me

[Bigrig]

Good stuff - is everyone ok to lock in the last weekend of May? The 28th and 29th? That's 8 weeks away, so should give everyone plenty of time.

We'll work out where once we have numbers sorted.

Looks good to me.

We're happy to go anywhere, however would like somewhere that allows open fires. Also, depending on numbers of adults and kids, are there any amenities? Not too fussed about showers, but some people like to have them.

May also depend on how they go restoring the tracks ... but we've never been there so definitely up for it!

[Dhuck]

Personally not real keen for camping out at Scenic. They only have one small amenities block near the office. Would not mind doing a day trip out there if it is dry, as those close tracks off when it's wet. When I was out there, they only had the creek run and a couple of lower tracks. Now the creek run is closed due to environmental factors.
Quoted from the owners on another forum

Park update 25th March
Work will commence next week on the flood damage repairs
We hope all cars will again be able to enter by our own entry through the top road once the repairs are carried out.
The bottom road is our neighbour’s private road and only to be used for emergency vehicles, service trucks, non off road caravans and motor homes. All other cars including car trailers are asked to use our entry road.
We have new maps and the campsite numbers have been changed.
We hope to open up two new sections of track and a new rock garden track beside campsite one later in the year
Due to the creek running into the catchment and the loss of our side tracks driving up the valley creek is not allowed.
If it is raining at the park the ridge line roads are closed till two hours of non rain and drivers must be aware the track difficulty increases.
We are now taking bookings for Easter $10 for 2x2 cars as you should be able to drive up to the ridge to enjoy the views again with the road repaired. Normal camp fee apply to 4x4 cars

City view has re-opened next door. Have not been there. This would be another day trip to check it out and see whats available.

[Bigrig]

How about we stick to what we know for the moment, and somewhere that has plenty of space if we get a decent sized attendance - we had 24 throughout the weekend last time, and I'd expect possibly more this time.

So far (split up by car)

Me plus 2 kids
Sandra plus 2 kids
Dhuck, Bec plus 1
Tim
Nick plus 1 (possibly wife also?)
Benny
Derek plus wife plus 4

So that's 20 already and 7 vehicles

Possibles:
Corie and wife plus 3
Tony and wife plus 2
Tim (Cadbury) and wife plus 2
Jaxt and family
Adrian plus family
Dave and Liz plus 4
Ryan and Taneal plus 1
Andrew plus family
Dasha plus family
Cossy plus family
And assorted other new members

So could be as many as 15-20 vehicles and 50+ people!!! LCMP would obviously cater for this number, so might be best if the attendees list keeps growing to go for it again - as said, we know it, awesome place and good camping and amenities.

[Dhuck]

Adam and his missus will possibly be in for it. Also ran into Wookie this morning and will have a chat with him.

Good stuff ... numbers are building already - that's why I like the big camping grounds, let's people spread out and have the own private retreat if they want to get away from the crowd. Me on the other hand - I go all communal !!!! LOL

[Dhuck]

mmmmmmmmmm. Bit to communal at times. lol

[Bigrig]

mmmmmmmmmm. Bit to communal at times. lol

C'mon .. you love it little fella!!! LOL

[Ben-e-boy]

LCMP sounds good, 28th-29th sound good too. I'm pretty sure that my RDO weekend so i'll have 3 days off

[Bigrig]

Sweet - we'll be doing at least 3 days again also - probably 4 (Friday through to Monday again)!

I'll be there saturday morning, Fridays are a maintenance shut at work and I never get out on time:frown:

[Warnie]

I have been to scenic rim a few times before and have really enjoyed it, I would be keen for checking out city view for a day trip though. It closed down before I got into 4wding. I am free pretty much every sunday in may if someone wants to go then.

Too easy mate - when we sort the location, just take a run up for the day if that's all you can get off - we had 9 vehicles and 24 people at the last one at LCMP, and 3 of those cars came out for day trips only, so you are more than welcome to also. We are a pretty easy going bunch of various levels of capability, so very relaxed and a 'no pressure' environment to do stuff you don't want to do - that said, plenty of able bodies to teach you stuff (you might teach us!!) and guide through some tougher challenges if you're up for it!!

Hope to see you there. A couple of us will probably head out for another day trip to Beerburrum before then anyway, so I'll make sure I add you to the PM list ....

Cheers
Scotty

[Warnie]

Thanks scotty that would be awesome.

On ya Steve - I'll add you to the ever growing list also. Same goes mate as above and I'll keep you informed of any day trips also!!!

Scotty

[Ben-e-boy]

Any decisions on the location yet guys

[Bigrig]

I'm open to suggestion mate, but the one thing I would offer is that if we have a fair crowd (looking like being 25-30 with kids etc) then it might be worth hitting LCMP again - not as if we scratched the surface of the tracks last time and the camp grounds are good and large ...

Thoughts everyone??

[jaxt]

for those wanting something down the coast (and maybe a little bit earlier) wookie and i and another patrol owner are going to flatrock (camping for 4 days) at lennox at the start of may.
there's a beach track there that apparently is pretty good for a run.
scotty i didn't intend to hijack thread.
I was just putting it out there in line with putting out thoughts and not to take away from the main event that scotty is proposing

All good mate - sounds like it will be a corker ..

[Ben-e-boy]

Its funny at work today they startd with the toyota banter etc. I just said bring it on, your Nissan bashing isnt going to be much chop when you are swimming in a sea of patrols lol

credit to them they can give and they can take it

Too easy mate - the more the merrier!!

[Silver]

OK, two adults (age not attitude) and one 6yr old for LCMP or possibly alternate venue :-)

Now, old mate over the road is interested, but he and spouse need access to loo - how does that work at LCMP?

And, yes, I will have a recovery plate (at least) fitted by then :-)

Silver

[Dhuck]

There are facilities at LCMP aka Fairy Land (hot showers & toilets)

[YNOT]

LCMP has good toilet and shower blocks at the main camp sites.

Tony

[Silver]

thanks - I should have been a bit more specific. Couple in their 70s, he's quite mobile, she's quite a bit less so, and for some reason allergic to porta pottis. Maybe she'll have to make an exception, but she is quite proud.

Is the LCMP campground we are talking about accessible by 2wd caravan?

[YNOT]

Caerful driving will get a 2wd and van to the camp grounds.

Tony

[big_fletch]

Sounds like would be a good meetup guys, make sure you take a camera and lots of happy snaps lol..
To far to drive from vic otherwise I would come along

[Bigrig]

X2 - when we were up last time they had regraded the main road through it, so a two wheel drive would make it in and out.

Ahhh - yeah, caravan could get in there. A bit bumpy of course (mostly around the office area), but "should" be ok. The camp ground is about 10klms off the main road, so it would be a slow haul for that, but you could get in there.

[Warnie]

I have a mate in a 100 series cruiser that could be interested in coming out for a trip also. Any plans been made for a day out/ weekend???

[cossy]

scenic rim looks good count me in at this stage

We'll iron out the plans by next week mate so everyone knows where and when and can decide what they want to do from there.
Cheers

[Bigrig]

Sweet mate - might have to make it somewhere we know so it's easier access etc for some, but as per post above, we'll sort that next week and lock it down!!!

[Finly Owner]

Scott I am planning on doing a DAP on weekend of 21-22 May

Tim

[Warnie]

Sorry for my ignorance, but what's a dap?

[YNOT]

DAP is Driver Awareness Programm. The driver training course you need to do (for insurance purposes)when you join a 4WD club.

Tony

[Bigrig]

Bump - for some of the new members that have joined tonight and over the last few days.

Would be great to see you there!!!!

[Forced Offroad]

Ahhhh SO wish the truck was ready to catch with the you guys...

[Bigrig]

Still time mate!!! What help do you need to get it done?? I can volunteer dhuck straight away to come over and help!! LOL!!! (be a good boy and do it dhuck!!!).

Would be great if you can mate, but appreciate your position - that said, a working bee at your joint sounds like a solid plan!! lmfao

[Dhuck]

Yeh what needs doing. Scotty will always offer every body to help while he sits back and sucks on a tinny.

So is the 28th & 29th of May locked in?

I just need to clear my work schedule.

It would be great for a chance to meet some of you.

Will be me and my 11 year old son coming along.

It's locked in Eddie!!!! Be great if you can make it - should be a fair few in attendance as per comments above. We are heading out on the Friday 27th and coming back Monday 30th, but as per the last trips, people come and go throughout the weekend as they please. Great group of 'no pressure' individuals and plenty of kids going also, so they usually have a ball.

I'll PM everyone my mobile and email in the coming week or so to organise the details.

Look forward to seeing you there!!

Scotty

[Yendor]

Sounds great, thanks for the info Scotty.

Cheers Rodney

[Bigrig]

Righto everyone - Scenic Rim is out unfortunately. Primarily because they have a comp out there on the 28th/29th and are expecting 300-400 spectators alone (let alone comp entries of which there are 4 divisions).

Is everyone ok with Landcruiser Mountain Park?? Further for everyone to travel, but still it's an awesome playground.

Can everyone PM there mobile number please - easier to sort via SMS than on the forum.

Looking forward to a top weekend!!!!

[NissanGQ4.2]

I've met 15 forum members so far, with 3 new ones to meet on the trip, and thus far every last one of them are top individuals - sounds sappy I know, but to have access to an easy going, like minded bunch (thanks AB - for the forum) to get away with is simply a pleasure!!! Makes it easier for everyone - no one gets in each others face, and irrespective of personalities we all love the outdoors and 4WD'ing!! Does it get any better than that??

Hope to get more and more on board so as we do trips, each time there will be some who can make it, some who can't, but either way there'll always be a solid number of good people getting along to them!!!

I whole heartedly agree. I told scotty this at the last meet at beerburrum but I had a bad experience with another forum meet where myselft and 5 other 4b's, all of us in this group were first timers to the glasshouse were left behind by the other members, I have not done another outing with that forum. This kind of sh1t wont happen on this forum

[Sir Roofy]

Hope you have a cracker at Toolangi and as said, bring in Love Day!!!

Righto update - most of the above have confirmed with a few still to let me know (although they've said they're keen).

We are going to head up first thing Saturday morning now (missus has to work Friday! Bummer!!) and intend on being at the campgrounds by 10am.

MQ Mad and another mate also may be coming, and I've still to hear from a few who said they were keen way back when - Whitewulf, Frenzy, etc.

Should be a simply awesome time!! Let me know if you've any questions or issues. We are meeting up with people on the highway as we go, so if you'd prefer to go up in a group, let me know and we'll work out a meeting point north of Brisbane (something like the big service centre at 8:15am for 8:30am departure).

Looking very forward to it!!!

[YNOT]

We've had a few QLD members join up in the last 24 hours so I thought I'd bump this back to the top for them to see.

Tony

[Bigrig]

Yep - Landcruiser Park is the location for all the new members - good location, accommodates the numbers and Scenic Rim has a comp on the same weekend and apparently are expecting over 300 spectators alone, so would be a bit of a bustle.

Hope some of the new comers can make it also - would be great to catchup!!

[Ben-e-boy]

10 am hey I was planning on getting there about 8.30 ish. What campsite is booked and I'll meet you at the campsite at 10. What uhf do you use?? 12?? i forget

[Bigrig]

WOW ... we are getting up in the numbers for this one - great effort everyone. So far 14 vehicles and 40 people [approx] confirmed/99%sure, most for the whole weekend, with a few making the effort for a day trip due to other commitments ... can't imagine what it will be like the day we get the majority of the QLD members together - I've just sent an update to 13 or so members I haven't heard from yet, and have had 7 members let me know they aren't able to attend. So that's 11 members attending so far [and 3 friends of members in their cars], 7 unable to make it, and another 13 reasonably active members yet to respond ... I say again, WOW ...

Preparing for an awesome weekend ... take care one and all.

[katwoman]

Sorry, biggus Riggus. Looks like the Mazda 's not gonna be ready... Guess I'll just have to take Katrol to toolangi instead !!

Yep - as Tony said, flushing toilets (septics, not pits) and hot showers. Good camping grounds and awesome tracks!!!

[Silver]

Landcruiser Mountain Park's website has some useful info.

The ladies facilities can generate queues at busy times apparently - but we should be up there at a quiet time?

[Bigrig]

Bump

Getting close now people - no pulling out!! LOL. Don't forget to invite family and friends - all welcome (all vehicles also).

Hope this weather is indicative of what we are going to get! Perfect for campfire sessions, perfect for daytime driving!!!

Going to be awesome.

according to the website you can get to the camp ground in 2wd.

I could sit on my @rs for a day and read a book and practice my guitar while my lovely wife and daughter and your esteemed self go for a drive.

She's an ex smoker too, and a bit militant about it, so that would be one less thing for you to worry about :-)

Cool, maybe u can teach hubby how to drink !!

[Silver]

Cool, maybe u can teach hubby how to drink !!

well, I know how to do that, maybe not the teaching part :-) Does he know how to play the guitar? I need some real help there :-).

It's a sincere offer - although not yet cleared with said lovely wife, who has done a course and driven a few times in hills and on sand. I reckon she'd be happy to have a go without me in the passenger seat. You'd have to fight with her for control of the driver's seat :-)

We have a stock Mav - I had planned on staying away from panel damage and maybe watching those with the more dedicated rigs giving them a work out on the hardest tracks. It has the right kind of recovery points front and rear and appropriate recovery gear.

[katwoman]

I wouldnt drive someones else's rig anyway..
And she'd be the pro.. Ive only done a bit of playing on river crossings and mud..
No guitar....But he can panel beat any damage you may get on the day ! pml

Well, sounds like a plan then - subject of course to lovely wife's seal of approval which I shall enquire after tomorrow (she having wisely gone to bed).

Won't be offended if it doesn't come off, or you forsake the Mighty Mav for some new shiny GU, or less of an issue, a lifted etc GQ :-)

We have a spare 10x8 tent (that didn't sell for a very low price in a garage sale!!) that I can throw on the roof rack if that would help. Last time we used it it was waterproof in heavy rain. And a folding chair or two.

Well, thank you. If it does come together, we'd maybe only make it a day trip.. and dont tell anyone but My first choice is always a blue oval..
See what happens..
gee, you QLDers are a friendly bunch !!

[Bigrig]

Good on ya silver!! Nice gesture!

Kat - a bit far for a day trip - you should go for overnighter of you can ... be plenty of space/tents etc available ...

Will let youse know, one way or the other..

Lovely wife is OK with a girl's day out.

There will be a loud noise from the rear of our Mav, so you might want to bring hearing protection. It comes from our 6 year old - esp if she has another girl to chat with :-)

There will be a loud noise from the rear of our Mav, so you might want to bring hearing protection. It comes from our 6 year old - esp if she has another girl to chat with :-)
I know that one Silver... Never stops !!

[Bigrig]

Any new members or existing members in QLD interested in coming along?? Still time to get on board and enjoy a great weekend away!!

Should be a great meetup by the looks of the numbers etc!! Just hope this spectacular weather holds out for us also!!

[Finly Owner]

Does anyone know how to make clones, I have to work and want to go to LCMP, and be at a good mates New House warming BBQ/engagement? night.

according to the website you can get to the camp ground in 2wd.


My mate managed to his XR6 turbo falcon into the deepest campgrounds, he said it "ploughed a bit" (ha-ha) obviously it worked out better than the time he tryed to drive his Nissan Bluebird (2wd) onto Rainbow Beach.......FAIL!......:icon_bonk:

You still looking ok to come up also?

[04OFF]

Im still pretty keen Scotty, although the mrs is exspressing a little concern about the night time temps up there, and the lack of heating inside the tent.

Im working on solutions !

Excellent mate!! The more the merrier!! Not as if we won't fit in the park!

I'm going to try to 'secure' Terrace for the camp site - they sort of blocked it out for us last time (put it up on the notice board as you enter which puts others off going to a heavily populated spot) so hopefully with the numbers we have going they'll do the same.

Look forward to seeing you there!!

[Bigrig]

Well, this is shaping up to be a boomer ... list of probables and comfirmed below:

I will start by saying, if anyone gets a chance to do a trip with these guys, you gotta do it !!!!!
We turned up with basically nothing, were given lodgings( thx Mr and Mrs Silver). We were welcomed by everyone and we had a great time. The 'hire car' and 'silver slug' did almost everything everyone else did. Scotty is a great organizer and I would even follow him. He and Dhuck aRe a credit to this forum, their families are warm and welcoming and everyone else we met were also great. So thank you to everyone who helped us out and was a absolute pleasure to meet you all.
Even the 'cruiser man' is impressed with you all.
No pics from me, cos I don't have the technology ATM.
Oh, and if Dhuck mentions anything about me and ciggies, it's not true !!!
( honest)
U GUYS ROCK !!!
(go the hire car !)

[NissanGQ4.2]

ur just teasing me some more. Sounds like a great weekend.

This is NOT the hirecar !! Honest !

[chrissey]

Hey guys,
I cant believe I missed out on such a great weekend and I got as close as Jimna just to find one of my tyres being flat and my spare being a piece of junk. I got so frustrated but thanks to a local guy named Russ or Ross cant quite remember ( he has truly been a legend and helped me as good as he can, lives on the same road as the visitor center), who gave me a hand I could at least make it back home that day. I went back to Kilcoy and the local 4x4 wrecker put a lot of effort into organizing a new tyre without luck as it was past 3pm by then.
But thats life I guess, NEXT TIME !!!
Hope everyone had a great weekend and thank you Scotty for pre-organising the catch up and sorry for not making it, i was close...:)
I have Maxxis 751, I heard they are not the greatest tyres, but they suit my budget better than anything else. I have a deep cut in the sidewall of the back right hand tyre, must have hit something sharp, I do not know but I heard the sidewall is the weak spot of those tyres, anyways no whinging I still enjoyed the drive between Mba and Jimna hehe:)
I learned my lesson on the first trip with the Patrol, always carry a decent spare tyre with you and if you can, take another one!

cheers chris

[Silver]

We have Maxxis 751s - they seem to do the job on the bitumen wet or dry, and I don't have a lot to compare them with off road apart from other all terrain tyres, and they seem to stack up ok in that category.

I think you were just unlucky Chris, and sorry to have missed you.

[YNOT]

Photo's please Silver.

Tony

[Silver]

It was great to meet you all and have some company when out and about. Kat, thanks for being a great navigator for Fran. It was nice to meet you and yours, and the much maligned, but apparently now accepted as at least adequate hire car - maybe it was Steve's good driving :-)

Thanks for the lovely warm welcome from you all, and Sandra, that burger tided me over beautifully until a light dinner tonight :-)

Our daughter had a great time with the other kids - thanks to those who hosted the invasion as they moved from camp to camp - when they weren't down at the creek :-)

Finally, a special thanks to the Doglex dishwashers, who along with the birds did a great job of cleaning barbecue plates and anything else left within range!

Hi Chris,
Sorry to hear about your bad luck with the tyres.
I missed out too, with the weekend being taken up with last minute preparations for my daughters'
walk across the Simpson Desert for charity.
It is for Youngcare and will take 12 days.
She flys out on Tuesday and we are driving out to Birdsville to meet her when she finishes.
Maybe we will meet up at the next outing, I'm going to make sure I'm at that one!

Desperate times, Dhuck. Thanks for telling everyone!!

[Dhuck]

As far as I saw Kat you did not have a cig. So you did well. Even if you did, everyone falls off the band wagon from time to time. Just look at Scotty. He (along with other enthusiastic members) are trying to loose weight (and doing a good job of it), but he still enjoys a drink or few from time to time.

But thanks to everyone who turned up was a great weekend and to those who didn't get there bad luck, we will hopefully meet up next trip to where ever. A big thanks to Kat and co for making it. Was good to meet part (a very small part) of the Vic contingent. Glad to here you enjoyed your time with the Qld Crew.

Was also great to have Bob and Dorreen along. Goes to show age is no barrier. We now just need them to join the forum.

As far as I saw Kat you did not have a cig. So you did well. Even if you did, everyone falls off the band wagon from time to time. Just look at Scotty. He (along with other enthusiastic members) are trying to loose weight (and doing a good job of it), but he still enjoys a drink or few from time to time.

But thanks to everyone who turned up was a great weekend and to those who didn't get there bad luck, we will hopefully meet up next trip to where ever. A big thanks to Kat and co for making it. Was good to meet part (a very small part) of the Vic contingent. Glad to here you enjoyed your time with the Qld Crew.

Was also great to have Bob and Dorreen along. Goes to show age is no barrier. We now just need them to join the forum.

I think Bob is too smart to get a computer again after he killed his last one. I suppose once he sees pics of their ute and caravan etc up, and more importantly having met a heap of people over the weekend he may change his mind. Probably come over here and use mine!!

Yep - they were great. I could imagine that sort of a weekend being quite daunting for an elderly couple, but It just goes to show age is no barrier to hitting the tracks and just enjoying what there is to see and do!! Good on them and same goes for me, hope to see them (and everyone else) again.
