August Cruise - Somerset Dam

Hey guys,

Time for another cruise me thinks!

This is what have so far:

Date proposed: 10th of August

Meet up time will be 10.00 -10.30am.

Meet up will be up at Mt Coot-tha up past the lookout. Instead of turning left to go up to the lookout, turn right at the round-about and we shall be congregating at the top of the hill on the left. There is a fair amount of room for cars as people usually park there to go bushwalking etc.

Here is a pic of the meet-up point, we'll be meeting where the little orange man is..


After talking smack for 10-15mins, well be taking the voyage down the opposite way down, past all the local TV stations. Once weve hit the bottom, well be turning off and heading through Bardon & Redhill and onto Waterworks Rd to Mt Nebo & Mt Glorious.

Turning right at the Fernvale-Kilcoy Rd following that for 31.9kms. Another right turn onto the Esk-Kilcoy Rd going through the town of Somerset past the Somerset Dam for 4.0kms to "The Spit" picnic area.

Here we can have just relax, play with the footy/whatever & do a photoshoot.

Then its back on the road home via esk.

Total driving time should be around 3.5-4hrs, depending on traffic. This includes the drive from somerset to Ipswich aswell...

We'll be having a BBQ at Bourbons new place after the cruise, all is welcome!! Oh and dan will be down here aswell

So far we have had these people say they are interested...

5. Zapps & Brooke
