FTO AUSTRALIA

As most of you would be aware, we were organising a cruise, then it sort of ran out of steam, which tends to happen a lot, but here's all the details and it would be great to put some names to faces and have a day out.

so, details:

We are going to cruise to Mt Glorious then on to Wivenhoe dam. Why? because there were more complains about Tambourine than Mt Glorious.

local meeting spots:
Southside: Sunnybank Maccas @ 9:15am
Central: BP/Hungry Jacks - Corner Bowen Bridge Rd, Butterfield St @9:45am (just a suggestion)
Northside: I don't know, you guys work it out.
Toowoomba etc: You guys can work it out yourself as well.

Everyone Meet at Ferny Grove Train Station @ 10:30am
Once everyone's there, we'll take a vote to see if we are having a BBQ at Wivenhoe or not, if we are, I'm sure there's a super market around. Leave as soon we sor that out. Heading to Mt Glorious, which is about a 30 min drive

Once we get to Mt Glorious I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting lunch there.
We can also look for some photo spots at a lookout or two if anyone is interested/know where they are.

Then head to Wivenhoe Spillway, about 45min drive
We can drive on to look for a photo spot and/or a BBQ area.

That's the Plan for the day, without a BBQ or getting too lost we are probably looking at finishing up by about 3, which leaves everyone plenty of time to get home before they turn into a pumpkin. But if anyone is interested we can also organise to go out for drinks or dinner after.

NOW, everyone, can you pass your phone numbers along to your local people and can you please confirm if you are coming, and where you are meeting up?

i.e.
- borepyano - Southside
- kustom_fto - Southside

feel free to post suggestions or changes you would like.
Yes I am taking this over, but if anyone would like to or have any objections, be my guest.

Simon/any other mods/admin - Can you please sticky this?
Michael - is your gf coming to scout for us?
Stef - I'm assuming Kate is coming to take photos?

Bit longer drive i reckon more north, rip that sh*t up!

And us toowoomba guys we will all meet up at Petes house lol.

Not sure what time though??

Top effort on getting the ball rolling again. I'm honestly excited about this. I'll have to check in with Garth (RallyMad) to see what he's up to, as he doesn't get on the forums often.

We will probably just make it to the train station at 10.30, so meet at my place at 8.30, Matt?

- kustom_fto - Southside -> Train station
- pete_gpx - Toowoomba -> Train station
- silver_gpx - Toowoomba -> Train station

if you want a longer drive we can make a detour to Nebo before Mt Glorious (adds about hr-ish, especially if we get lost or try for a photo shoot), or we can just keep driving around Wivenhoe (it's a 2.something hr trip around it).
But I wouldn't recommend making it too far north, considering it's going to be a fair drive for Southsiders/Gold Coast ppl.
we can change all the details once we meet up, the most important thing is to have everyone at the Ferny Grove train station on time so we can go from there.

I think Matt's underestimating how much time will be spent mucking around, talking and finding people who get lost.

The trip should be long enough, in my opinion.

This is true, cruises generally go on longer then expected silverGPX, don't worry it'll be good enough.
