Been a whilse since I have done a westwards mountains scenic trip and waterfalls walk, hence will be doing the below. All welcome, its a fantastic drive route, beautiful scenery and the waterfalls should still be flowing nicely.
DATE - SUNDAY 31ST JANUARY 2010
CRUISE DISTANCE - Dunno, wouldn't have a clue
TIME - 0800 MEET AT GOODNA MACCAS (is on the way from Bris to Ipswich)
0830 Depart Goodna Maccas
Head toward Willowbank/Warwick
Turnoff the highway at Yomanto
Turn left at T and take the Ipswich Boonah Rd to Peak Crossing
Continue along this rd to Coulson. Then a right turn follow the signs to Boonah.
From Boonah head left/south along the Boonah Rathdowney Rd to Maroon Dam
Maroon Dam (photoshoot)
Head back towards Boonah to Carneys Creek Rd
Turn Left at Carneys Creek Rd
Turn Right onto Head Rd
Veer left to Spring Creek Rd
Continue through the mountain twisters to Queen Mary Falls
B.B.Q Lunch and yarn at Queen Mary Falls
B.Y.O. food/drink and whatever - this is just a run that I am doing, not a formal anything cruise.
Don't forget the camera!!!!
Take the walk to the falls
Depart the Falls along Spring Creek Rd
Turn Right at T intersection (Border Rd) and head toward Kilarney
Take the back roads down to the Cunningham Highway and back to Brisbane
OR
We could turn right just prior to Kilarney (Brosnans Rd, which becomes Condamine River Rd) do a return trip along Condamine River Rd through the mountains and river crossings to Head.
Continue on to T intersection and turn left along Carneys Creek Rd and through Croftby and arrive back at Boonah Rathdowney Rd
Turn left and head into Boonah; then home
End Cruise
