Mount Lindsay Cruise

29th July 2012

Meet at Aratula. Head over Mt lindsay and back via the lions road. From there it'll be the back way to Canungra and then up the lamington national park and back to Canungra for lunch.

Cruise distance will be about 300km. And it will be on BACK ROADS!!! So if you dont like one lane roads please do not come! There is 98 octane available at the meet up point and I would ask everyone to make sure your tank is full before we leave as this is a long cruise.

WHAT TO BRING

  • car
  • plenty of fuel
  • occupants (optional)
  • uhf radio <- must have (if you don't have one speak up and you may be able to borrow someone's spare - I have a couple available)
  • warm clothes

THE FINE PRINT

In order for every body to have a good time, a few rules have been implemented. Failure to abide by these rules will ensure you are not invited to future events held by FordXR6Turbo.com.

The reasons for these rules are:

  • Safety - We don't want to put any of our members, and the general public in any danger.
  • Public Perception - We do not want the Ford XR6 Turbo community to face the same ridicule and stereotypes other car communities face.
  • The rules are simple:
  • Obey all laws whilst on the cruise; this means no speeding, no overtaking over double lines etc... Any breaches will be reported to the local police.
  • There is a designated cruise leader who will lead the way and set the correct pace for all cruise members.
  • Use the Buddy system; always make sure you can see the car behind you. This will give people behind you an indication on where to turn and to make sure nobody gets lost or left behind.
  • CB Radios; if you don't have one, follow the maps and directions given out. If you do have one, please limit chatter during the twisty parts of the cruise. This will allow the cruise leader to relay information about road conditions, upcoming obstacles, etc. efficiently.
  • By attending this cruise you agree not to hold FordXR6Turbo.com, its Administrators, Moderators, Cruise Organisers, or Owners responsible/liable for any damage and/or grief sustained (simply; if you stuff up it's your fault, not ours).
  • If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask before the cruise.

If anyone has a good suggestion for the lunch stop at canungra feel free to let me know. If anyone wants to do the Lamington National Park Part and not the rest please advise me and I will organise a stop there.

Post-up to advise of your attendance, meeting point and finer details will be provided via PM.

Guys I am double posting to say that some of these roads are very narrow and you will have to pull off the bitumen to go past cars. So if you dont like this then please dont attend. I do not want people whinging about the roads. If you would still like to cruise you can meet us at Canungra and travel the last part up to Orielly's and back. This road is still narrow and windy so please consider before posting attendance.

Just a heads up I have done this trip many times , water does flow over the road in places and the grey nomads use it as well ..

Very narrow and some blind bends ( I'm looking for pics from previous cruise to show) beautiful scenery but it has it's issues if you have an immaculate car just sayin'

Worth doing though...

But be prepared for people coming in the opposite direction, stone chips, etc ..
