For those who were thinking of over-nighting, the accommodation centre is booked out as it's the start of school holidays.

Have a fabulous time for all who can make it, I'm sooo jealous of you. Chris has been through the mountains twice and the pictures looked amazing. We even had a BB booked their last year for a get away but had to cancel  :'(

Have fun and ride/drive safely everyone.

I nearly got there only by the time I'd fuelled up, adjuSTed the tyre pressures I'd missed the departure time so for me the morning turned out a little different .........
Off to the lighthouse cafe Cleveland for breakfaST, then a short jaunt through capalaba, mount cotton rd , Alberton rd the back way to Springwood, tyre kicking in Moss ST......any excuse to show off my Shiney ST.
Then it was another small zig zag around to Tony ArmSTrongs Suzuki for a casual coffee relaxing in the ambience of the motorcycling culture.......if you haven't been for a coffee there it is a top spot.
Saddled up again and off home ..........
JuST what I needed to rejuvenate my enjoyment of the STunning Red MyST that is my   :13Candy
Cheers Brian
P.S. Saw these two CX's at T.A. Springwood....nice work to the owners

I slept in after a poor nights sleep. Got or of bed at 7:30,had breakfast and got ready to go.

I jumped in the car a little after 8 and as I approached the BP at Caboolture at 8:50, I thought I'd drop in on the off chance Draco and others would still be there. As luck would have it Draco, Jason, Justin and his wife Alison were there and having a chat. A quick catch up before we all departed.

I had stopped for 10 to 15 minutes at Yarraman at a Café hoping to get photos of STs coming into town. However, even though I thought I had beat everyone out of the car park back at the BP, I never saw another ST until the final climb up the Bunyas when I caught up to Draco and Jason on the second bit of gravel road. :eek. The Alltrack was right at home on the gravel, but the bikes looked a little nervous.

As we pulled up into the car park we waved to by Shirley and Carrol.

We gathered around bikes and met up with Dave (DBFIVE), Jordan, Leo.

Soon it was time to head up to ELZ Bistro to be fed. The service was very friendly, very prompt, and food was really tasty. I had the Bunya nut chicken salad, being healthy food I had to balance it worth a very tasty Iced Chocolate. :grin

Part way through we were joined by Tim (tding) and Joe.

Now for some photos.

Not sure what the significance is with the statue.

Now for some bike photos including an attempt or two at creative.

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160917/5037fd07a7eeb78ea2f502fe3733b402.jpg)

At Blackbutt I caught up with Justin and Jason taking a pish stop. Soon we were joined by Draco as Shirley and Carrol kept on trucking.

As I had to go past Caboolture on the way home, I "had" to drop in to my daughter's place and give my Granddaughter a cuddle for a coups of hours. So I didn't arrive home until a little after 7:00 pm.

Only two short bits. However there is a couple of other bitumen roads which Justin tells me one was fun on the way down, so would be good on the way up.

 :blu13 RR from me. :grin I woke at 6:00am, showered, breakfast (porridge  :p ) on the road about 7:30am off to BP north @ Caboolture where I had Coffee. Meds taken. There I met Jason (JF3000). Then along came Justin (Bloodman) and his wife Followed by Gadget, then after a chat and coffee we proceeded to get underway. Led by Bloodman, me then Jason. was a fun ride along the way we encounted the twisties near Blackbutt (love that part) and arrived safely at at our destination after a bit of gravel road (No problem for a BLUE ST ;) ) further on a green snake committed suicide under my front and rear wheels.
At the venue we were greeted by a few more ST's, in a variety of colors

Carrol and I had a great day out :hatwave

We headed out at about 08:30 in the cage (Due to medical reasons I'm not supposed to ride at speeds that will put pressure on my neck :eek)

We shot up the slab then inland to Bunya Mountains, we didn't see any ST's on the way but did see a roo and almost got cleaned up by a female driving a 4WD towing a caravan :cuss
(She decided she need to occupy the same space on the road as us when we drove past the servo she was leaving :cuss If she had just done a shoulder check she would have seen us :fp)
An extended blast of the horn woke her up and we continued on.

We arrived and met up with Wild Rose, and had a chat with the bloke taking people for a ride on a horse and buggy :grin

After a little while everyone else began to arrive and before we knew it we had a nice collection of ST's gathered near our car and a few good OzSTOC types
(Draco, DBfive, Bloodman & Alison, Gadget, jf3000 (attending his 1st RTE), Onesie, Wild Rose, Carrol & myself :thumbs)

We all had a chat and checked out the bikes for a bit then headed in (past the strange sculpture) for a bite to eat

(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w435/ShineyOzSTOC/2016-09-17%20OzSTOC%20RTE/20160917_130312_zpsxrdv7ntq.jpg) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/ShineyOzSTOC/media/2016-09-17%20OzSTOC%20RTE/20160917_130312_zpsxrdv7ntq.jpg.html)

We were joined by Tding and Joe then everyone had a great feed and a good laugh at the staff having issues with the name Shiney :fp

(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w435/ShineyOzSTOC/2016-09-17%20OzSTOC%20RTE/20160917_122728_zpsx5b2rfgs.jpg) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/ShineyOzSTOC/media/2016-09-17%20OzSTOC%20RTE/20160917_122728_zpsx5b2rfgs.jpg.html)

After we were all fed we headed back out to the bikes where we heard the legend of the barefoot Gadget :eek

(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w435/ShineyOzSTOC/2016-09-17%20OzSTOC%20RTE/20160917_132532_zpsximl5tcn.jpg) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/ShineyOzSTOC/media/2016-09-17%20OzSTOC%20RTE/20160917_132532_zpsximl5tcn.jpg.html)

And watched Alison go for a scary cruise around the car park on the wing with Onesie

Then after a bit more of a chat we headed off for home.

I left Toowoomba at 9.00 on Saturday morning for a RTE at the Bunya Mountains  :hatwave
I headed out through Kingsthorpe Goombungee Quinalow then turned 1km before Maclagan to stay on the bitumen
Heading towards Kaimkillenbun until I found the Bunya Mts sign, heading north the ride started to get interesting

Thanks for the reports and photos.  I agree with Gadget, compared to Saturday, it was very ordinary riding weather yesterday!

I would have taken a pic of my trip meter but it reset at Kingaroy on the way home, writing off 400km of ride!!  636km round trip anyway.
