Hi Jan, I'm hoping to make this trip. Quick question though, I think it may be exit 38 not 41 as shown. Can you confirm. Cheers Pawl.

Thanks Pawl it is exit 38:D

Thanks Jan ...

Here's the last one :



Sorry I didn't get any more after that ( too tired & shaken up ) ...

Ciao, Bantum ...

Hey Jan - Sorry I didn't catch the names of some places we went to on the last leg of trip ( too busy hanging on ) - can you fill us in ? ( a Google map with path taken would be cool )

( like the Maccas we had dinner at ) Much appreciated ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

No probs
Here is the route we took from The Hinze Dam
I must stress this part was of the trip was an addon, I couldn't pass it up (Tigger)



Beechmont, small track at Canungra,fun and slippery (On the last photo),Canungra, O'Rielly's, Duck Creek Rd fun on the side bit:twisted:, Beaudesert Maccas
Had a bit of fun but didn't take my camera:( Tigger will have some footage for sure;) i dare say there will be some of me letting out some smoke out of my tryes

Thanks Jan,

I thought we'd done a few twists & turns in there ( couldn't keep up with no sun to follow ), was totally lost by the end there ...

I'd love to try a tarmac rally section around the Hinz Dam someday, as there are some great twisty sections there ... ( would need to be on closed road though )

Cheers, Bantum ...

Was a great day I think Gibbo would have loved it, especially the mud at the end

I do have some footage that I will put together and upload soon Not too many photos unfortunately, mostly videos

Loved the video. Great Work.
Lousy weather (perfect for subies), excellent trip, awesome company... Dave would have enjoyed himself.

Thank you.
