Here is a link to a location map on the park web site.....

But as i found the first time, the web instrutions kinda suck, Ive put together my own basic instructions (and GPS coordinates) to help those that have never been (or just wan't to know) how to get to Scenic Rim adventure Park.







Travel down Beaudesert -Boonah Rd (toward Beaudesert), turn into Sandy Creek RD (Bromelton)

Travel all the way down Sandy Creek RD, turn right at the roundabout, then first left onto a narrow dirt road/track,

Follow this un-sealed rd to the park, (this track also leads to City View 4x4 park), if unsure, bear left at the junctions/tracks or follow signs to Scenic Rim Adventure Park.





Entry point to the dirt road (that leads to Scenic Rim 4x4 park) via Google Earth GPS.......

Latitude 27°59'41.21"S
Longitude 152°55'39.79"E




Or, cut and paste the following into the Google Earth "Fly To" box....

27°59'41.21"S 152°55'39.79"E




UHF 17



(perhaps directions may be good in the first post as well Scotty ?)

Also interested to see if anyone may be keen for a small night run on the saturday night ? (im sure Big Rig will be a goer)

Night driving is allowed in the park up until 9pm without any pre approval, and i know a great little plateau that is perfect for looking at the Stars in the Milky Way, the Stars as ive seen from this spot are so much brighter/clearer without the huge haze of light emitted by city lighting.

Howdy all

well - me and Steve (04OFF) have been chatting, and it's time to organise another trip!!!! lol ... thinking of somewhere a bit closer to make it more accessible to everyone, and obviously somewhere we haven't been yet (as a group). So the suggestion is for Scenic Rim - http://www.scenicrimadventurepark.com.au/ - on the weekend of 13th and 14th of August. That gives everyone 9 weeks notice (we'll no doubt be doing day trips etc in the interim as per the Beerburrum trip this weekend) and hopefully enough notice to get everyone from previous trips, and some of the other members who haven't been out yet to come along. Steve has checked and this clashes with no comps etc out there, so should be great - can still have open fires also!!! WOOHOO!!!

Scenic Rim is 74 klms from the Brisbane CBD down Mt Lindesay Highway past Beaudesert - so a sub 1 hour (ish) drive for those on the south side, and sub 90 minutes (ish) for those on the north.

Soooooo ... who's in?? Friends, family etc are obviously welcome - doesn't matter what the vehicle and what capability - it'll cater for all.

Attendees thus far:

what kind of numbers are we look at this far scotty
