Some more suggestions (ok - a fair number)

For the warmer months :

• Mortern Island
  Teewah Beach
  Stradbroke Island
  Koreelah National Parker (other side of Mt Barney)
  Bundabee State Forest (3 day or more trip)
  Any one of the gold panning areas with a creek/river (e.g. northen NSW area)
  Sundown National Park (must try some of the other tracks there)
  Fraser Island (again) Like to try it mid to late summer.

Suggestions for not-so-warm months

• Gordon country
  Landcruiser Park
  Girraween National Park (at least a long weekend needed) http://www.pleasetakemeto.com/australia ... nformation
  Bold Rock National Park (Girraween,
  Coffs Harbour (recommend a long weekend or longer)
  Inskip Point (just south of Frazer Island)
  Amamoor National Park

Longer Trips

• Cameron corner (Qld, NSW SA corner)
  Another Cape York trip (well .... I missed the previous one).
  Longreach (and nearby national parks)
  Vic High Country
  Blue Mountains (e.g. Jenolan State Forest)
  Carnarvon

Day Trips

• Spicers Gap
  Glasshouse Mountains (if we can find something open)
  Bribie Island
  Imbul National Park and/or Conondale National Park
  Stradbroke Island (it's so close to Brisbane, the fuel saving covers the ferry cost)
  Mt Mee / Dayboro (maybe this time after wet weather to it a little harder)
  Spring Mountain (near Forest Lake)
  Gatton region (just north of Gatton ... lots of tracks)
  D'Agular National Park

I still like the idea of going to Glendon.

Where is the trip to on the 12th Jan as the car is now fixed ?

I have just come back from Moreton and all I can say is wow my winch got called into action a few times!!!

Good to hear from you again Louis.

Nothing has been planned for the 12th at this stage, so this is your opportunity to suggest somewhere. I wont be able to make it, but I am sure some other club members will be able to.

I'm thinking of going for a drive tomorrow (Monday) if you are interested. Might be going to Booloumba Falls for a swim.

Hi Ben,

I would love to go but unfortunately I am working. I am now working in the City Ann Street opposite the Telstra Building if you want to meet up I can then return the memory stick.

Tara Camel races are on again this year (held bi annually)on August 2nd-4th 2013.
It is much more than Camel races-2 days of non stop entertainment

1 Day Pass Family $20.00(2 adults & 4 children under 18yrs)

Tara is a 4 hour drive west of Brisbane and it will be cold in August,plenty of other things to see & do if we think one day of Camel racing is enough.

Sounds interesting Karen, thanks for the suggestion and I have added it to the trip calendar.

I have also added the 4wd Corroberee in Imbil for October.
