Goodbye Greens Lake, Hello ............? Where to next?
Permalink  

Ok, we didn't make it to  Greens Lake, and have been convinced we missed something really special by the posts and pics.

I need something to look forward to, so where to for the next get together?

Please make it east coast (or Vic) and dog friendly.

Rip and Rose, Perhaps you might want to suggest one in the area where you are or will be travelling.
I am fairly sure there will be one organised for around June in Qld.

It would probably be a fair guess that neither of them are going to
behave smile  smile.....

That means that the rest of us don't need to behave either....

Sounds like a great time coming up biggrin  biggrin

Are there any suggestions for where yet in Queensland? If it's a spot that hasn't been tried yet, I'm sure that there would be enough of us Queenslanders around for one of us to volunteer to go check something out

Hi Dave. Possibly Wivenhoe/Somerset-ish. There are a couple of good spots around there.

Beth is away at present...and I have family staying with me...but in a couple of weeks we will give it more thought.

Do you have any suggestions?

Either of the dams sound good to me - otherwise, anywhere SEQ-ish with free camping so as to make the trip available to anyone would be great.

Neil Turner Weir is in Mitchell I think, about halfway between Roma and Charleville.

I'd like to respectfully suggest that we choose somewhere that is easy for many people to get to, and/or is not far from a major travel route so that we can make sure that all who would like to be there can be.

I liked the sound of the dams as they are within a couple of hours drive from Brisbane and the coast, so both coastal and inland drivers wold be able to make a diversion and join in. But I'm loving hearing all of these suggestions. I'll have to add them to my personalised Google Map (for those GN Times readers who get the reference, haha)

Oakey creek reserve, between Oakey and dalby is a free camp (self contained) but there is a toilet, about 5 acres of lawn on a creek (no water or power) but it is a free camp

I think after Greens that free camping is what a lot of people are looking for - though I love Bigriggen - and Boonah showgrounds. There are a couple of spots in the Scenic Rim - I will investigate.

Sounds like there is still a few out there. Can't see me making it out there this week. I now have an appointment at the hospital on Friday.
News tonight, storm heading through Vic overnight, hope you are all up on the high ground. Rain most of tomorrow, Wednesday.

Hi Marj ..

I'm pleased to see you're staying active .. seems its got into your bones eh !

Isn't it amazing how just that little opportunity to get out there a few times can have such an affect on how much you can enjoy your freedom .. your quality time ..

I'm sorry I missed out on the others that turned up after I left, but I'm quite sure its only a matter of time til I meet them and others ..

Hopefully I get back out of Sydney next week ..

keep doin' it, Marj .. and hugs for Myrtle ..

Jon
