Scenic Rim Adventure Park
Posted: August 20th, 2012, 1:56 am
Clear skies greeted people Sunday morning as 13 groups meet at the Beaudesert McDonald's. At 9:00am we set off to the Scenic Rim 4x4 Adventure Park at Tamrookum Creek Rd, Innisplain QLD.
The lucky people to come along were :
Ben, Jane, Hunter, Magnus and Axel
Mark (Ranger)
David W and Debbie
Tim L, Daniel, Melody
Greg G and Ranae
Greg W and Noela
Steve, Yvonne and Simon
Shaun, Kerne, Lachlan and Danny
Mark (Bravo)
David P, Melinda, Fiona, Chris, Andrew and Robert
Gary, Aiden and Liam
Robert and Debbie
Tim J and Anita
And Bernie who was already at the park.
After paying the entry fee and receiving the park induction, we split into two groups and started to explore the park. The main tracks were shown on the map, but there were many side tracks to explore. Probably since the park opened only 7 weeks ago, the tracks were generally in good condition, with only a few tricky spots here and there, e.g. a bent bullbar "here", and a nice new anderson plug cover ripped off "there".
We'll have to remember that the park uses channel 13 as the emergency channel, so we will need to choose a different channel if (when) we retuaccidentallye groups accidentially meet up on a loop track at the far end of the park, and allowed the other on-coming traffic to pass, we returned to the huts/picnic area for lunch. This also allowed the kids to run around, and around, and around, etc, etc. They seemed to have a lot of fun.
The afternoon allowed people to chose a group again for another explore of the park, and another test of the 4x4 play ground.
The hours passed quickly, and by 4:00pm the last group was heading for home.
Some of my photos are below, and I'll add some video over the next few days. Would others like to upload their favourites too?
Some interesting decents.
Fun in the 4x4 play ground
Wheel in the air
CoLittlens were dry, but there was still a liitle mud around .... and we found it.
Proof of the dusty conditions.
By the end of the day, the clean vehicles weren't ... clean.
