Mt Mee trip

[Fouros]

I would like to organise a trip to mount mee thats stocker friendly in August

any takers?

[H.G.]

We did a trip out there a while back on all the fire trails..
I dont know if you need permits or not though.. Im thinking you do.
I will ask Kyro for ya.

[goodol55]

hmm..I'm interested in the bitumen part lads lol.....I see there's a bloke on line who wants to get the Ava (hopelessly stuck) in there though...not mentioning any names though.

permits are required I believe

[Fouros]

thanks guys

next question where do you get permits from

[goodol55]

thanks guys

next question where do you get permits from

try Qld Parks and Wildlife on ph 07 5446 0925 or fax on 07 5446 0966. Get them to post you the appropriate forms to travel on a state forest. they usually post them back in a day or two. You can nominate 3 parks on the form. It's free too and lasts as long as your rego ie. you renew at same time as rego in future years.
I got Jimna, Amamoor and Kenilworth about two weeks ago.

[Fouros]

so 55 you reckon i could take my stock KJ through there

[goodol55]

well it'll get further than my current ride :hammer:.
Honestly htogh, I haven't been in there myself, sorry, cant help - you'll have to trust Eric on that one (scary, I know).
Seriously though, Eric will have knowledge you're after.

Hi Gerard. Your stocko KJ will handle most tracks at Mt Mee. Those that your not comfortable on can be detoured around without too much hassle.

I'd be keen to meet up with you for a drive in the end of August. Also heading up to Imbil to have a look 14 - 15 th August.

Honestly Kel, I reckon it's be fun snatching the Avo up & down the likes of Hanger & A Breaks.

If you have any probs I can fax the application forms to you (different to the sunshine coast ones).

Hey mate!
yeah you need a permit to go in there and yeah the KJ should get through 90% of Mt Mee there is only a few parts that hardish :)

[Fouros]

Thanks David and Roger & Kel

Looks like I will go up to Mt Mee at the end of August for a run.

do you need a permit for each vehicle or does one permit cover a few?

[kyro]

Need one for each 4wd or a group permit which you need to be part of the QAFWDC to get

[wrench]

One permit for each car & driver. They last for 12 months or until your rego/license expires.

I'm so immature...I cacked myself when we passed the sign to Mt Mee whilst en route to LCMP.

Kept thinking of the twins in Goldmember as possible Japanese tourists at Mt Mee lookout :

Fook Yoo and Fook Mi :)

[CHEQUER-PLATE CHICK]

Do you have a particular date in mind yet?

[H.G.]

hehe gordo.. good to know Im not the only one that gets a giggle from such a title.
I personally call it MEE mountain now.. just to help other immature people like myself out haha

[Karl]

I would be interested, depending on the date. How tough are the tracks? I wouldn't mind bringing my kids along (6 1/2, and 3 1/2), but not if it is too rough, I couldn't hack it if they started whingeing.....

[H.G.]

mate the tracks we went on are pretty cruisey.. just fire trails with a few humps along the way. lots of dust though when I was there.. which was ages ago.

[Karl]

First weekend in September is better for me, August is already booked up

My 9 & 12 yr old girls have been wheeling with us for the last 7 years with only a few complaints. Most of its fairly light with a few steep/rough bits thrown in if you want. Secret with the kids is to let them run up & down the hills before you drive the car through. Burns off heaps of energy.

I was thinking towards Sunday 28th August. Saturdays are still tied up with kids sport. 1st wkd in Sept is fathers day & 2nd wkd is start of school holidays.

Might be able to convince Goodol 55 to meet us at the gantry for lunch (Easy road for the avalanch).

[Fouros]

Sunday 28th it is Mate

[Karl]

Well, thats me out unfortunately, but I will keep the eyes peeled for the next one. Have fun fellas!

[Fouros]

no worries Karl

[wrench]

Hey is anyone still keen for this drive.

[Fouros]

i am David can you fax me the permit application

[Fouros]

28th August is the date

[wrench]

Permit application forms faxed to you Gerard. Anyone else need copies?

[Jeeps]

Yes i might be coming along. Just fax me an extra copy or two to Gerard and i'll get them off him, if that's ok with you Mr Fouros 8-)

[Fouros]

thats ok mr Jeeps

[Fouros]

my application has been sent

anybody else need the permit to traverse faxed to them?

pm me if you do

[Fouros]

Wrench

i have just recieved my permit, what time do you want to meet up on Sunday the 28th and where?

[wendaloo]

I can't go. Mazda won't make it. Sorry guys and gals.

[wrench]

I reckon 8 or 9 o'clock in Dayboro But as you have up to 2 hrs drive first I'll let you call the shots. Usual meeting spots are the bakery or in front of the pub.
Any other Jeepers coming along or do I invite a few Jap driving friends.
No worries Wendy, maybe we can lift the Mazda &fit some AT's for next time.

[Fouros]

say about 9.30

that gives me enough time to get the kids up and out the door

[wrench]

Sounds good. Meet in front of the bakery in Williams St. Pack a picnic type lunch?

Might try to finish the day over near Woodford if you want to head home straight down the highway.

Do you still have my mobile no ?

[Fouros]

yeah mate still got it

will meet up at the bakery

[Fouros]

well a fun and dusty day was had by all,

Thanks for showing us around wrench,

the jeeps showed up a Hilux on the big hill on the A break Track :) yes the stock KJ got up in one go, The hilux took 3 ;)


will have to plan a run down to Crystalvale in sept - oct

[H.G.]

this thread is useless without pics :P

[Fouros]

no picks but

the quote of the day went to our eldest as we started to go up the a break hill

"Daddy are you going to Kill us"

[wrench]

Hey Fouros I'm glad you enjoyed it. Was a bit worried you might get giddy as we drove around in circles looking for the good tracks. "A" break & Jacky break are usually good value & seeing the luxo & pathy struggle made it even better.

Sorry I took the wrong turn returning from the escarpment. The track I meant to take is usually good with an optical illusion at a nice little rocky creek crossing.

It was good to meet you, Sula (spelling?) & the girls.

H.G. The camera sat on the kitchen bench all day but at least the batteries were fully charged. You'll just have to draw a mental picture or the SOCCER MUM outclassing a hilux.

Cheers
David

[H.G.]

wrench.. I can imagine that. and its a good thought.

[Fouros]
