[QLD] 24th May Somerset Dam Cruise

[blackers10]

hey all
thought id pop this in here after our discussions today at the AUfalcon.com cruise.

for our next run

cruise to Somerset Dam on the Saturday the 24th of May

meet at Aspley maccas cruise via Albany Creek road-> to Clear Mountain Rd over Mt Glorious.. then off to Somerset Dam for bbq or what ever we decide to do

i have a map somewhere ill dig up

any thoughts or suggestions welcome

[WoodysXR6]

Ill be up for it, But i need some gold coasters to follow or a good navigator lol.

[blackers10]

if you follow the pacific highway to the end... then follow signs that say northern suburbs or sunshine coast

then you will be on lutwyche/gympie road which goes straight past chermside etc and leads straight to aspley maccas (corner of gayford st and albany creek road and gympie road)
directly opposite pick and pay hypermarket

[WoodysXR6]

Its just a thought but, i will be going on this cruise and i am already thinking about staying at a local cabin/caravan park brissy way for the night.

Just to enjoy it a bit better and to relax, As was a fair whack of a drive that the brissy boys did today just for a cruise.
Make it easier for the outer towner's

Regards, Woody

bah thats nothin mate
was a sunday drive on a saturday for me haha!!

we got home at 9pm with a stop over at BP coomera for a coffee and burger

and the southern guys can take the warrego highway or what ever its called by going SOUTH from somerset via esk etc ..all inland run so no traffic

take a look on google maps if your unsure how long the run will take

theres plenty of little B&Bs and caravan parks etc out somerset dam/wivenhoe dam way so thats no problem if you did decide to do the stop over thing

[The Monty]

Just a thought, any chance of doing the same run we did with AFCQ, as the other way has aloott of lights, and you miss out Neebo?
Im in either way, just trying to make it easy for everyone to keep together.
Either that, or southsiders do that one, northsiders do your one, and we meet at Mt. Glorious and go to Somerset together, as its still a fair whack of a drive together regardless.

[Black XR]

Sounds good any possibilty of a change of date though 24th is daughters 10th birthday. Don't think she would be over the moon about cruising for her birthday.

[blackers10]

have her birthday at somerset hehehe
she can go for a swim (in the puddle thats left since the drought LOL

was just thinking that josh... but there really isnt THAT many lights between mt glorious road/eatons crossing road and the maccas...
and we will stop AFTER all the lights to wait for all the other folk to catch up as we all hate getting left behind

I did that exact cruise on that exact same day about half an hour or so after you guys! Infact I saw you all at somerset!

It's a killer drive. Wouldn't be a bad idea for a cruise. I'm easy though.

[blackers10]

i remember that bunch of modified cars rolled past a carpark that we stopped at ontop of glorious somewhere..

we can probably decide which route to take later down the track closer to the date lol

or take votes eh

[Peuty]

Yeah, I vote that we all wait for each other after traffic lights and know where we are going BEFORE we leave!! haha

PS I was wondering where you got to on the M1 last night, one minute you were next to me, the next you weren't!

[CliffM]

A tentative yes, but I don't see any reason why not at this stage!

[Peuty]

Count me in by the way

[DJM83]

: i just might make this one

[bigpez]

I'll most likely be in again for this one

sounds good

[BFD83]

Yeah sounds good i'm up for it!

[dishpig]

I'll be in for sure and my ute will be repaired too so I can't wait.

[blackers10]

good stuff
glad to see lots of people with interest so far!!

i just had cruise control on and took the coomera exit to goto the bp for some dinner and a coffee

[Black XR]

make it the sunday and I'm there for sure

[CFOUR]

supercars arn't on so im a maby depending on how many gold coasters are in.

[The Monty]

Just keeping this on the main page to get people interested.

[TE50 027]

Depending on how my work roster is looking at the time I may come along for a cruise.

[Cam]

Ok, I now have a date to get the AU Stroker "Cruise worthy", I'll be dere!

[blackers10]

good stuff mate!!
glad to see people are keen to cruise AUfalcon style

[rob_liss_lms10]

Up and over Mt Glorious with it's tight winding roads is truly a drivers delight, then dropping into the Brisbane valley with sweeping bends and open roads makes for an excellent drive. If you have nothing to do on this day, I can highly recommend it. Enjoy the drive, I have on numerous occasions, and the pleasure never fades.

[dishpig]

Just thought I'd bump this back up the top. Mt glorius is a brilliant drive and we could stop up in one of the veiw points up the top for piccy's of all the AU's together.
