I will be going to a farrider event on 1 October at Eungella (inland of Mackay). Diesel and perhaps some other Ozstoc members will be there, so no need to meet up with them yet again :) Any SEQs be around in the days following? On the way up I have to hit some distance targets, but the way back is just more riding. I was thinking of going back through Toowoomba or the general area then perhaps cut in and go down the coast. May go through Maryborough, just depends on whether people I know are there at the time. I will be going up through there too but am on a bit of a tighter schedule on the way up.

John, you're certainly welcome to crash at my joint if you want (exactly 1,000km from 'Young Galah')
There's certainly a lot to see as you know in SEQ and plenty of OzSTOC Members around here to meet n greet.
Glad to see your health has prevailed and you're up to it too.
Is Lionel going?
Cheers

Lionel will be at Mackay at the same time, but at a family event (he is a Queenslander but I still like him). He will be in the Landcruiser 100 series with the caravan and wife, but plans to meet up at Eungella if possible. Looks like quite a few events coming together here! Should be a great event, farriders, ozstoc and whatever combined :)
I would not mind following a local on whatever roads you choose..all the more fun! I have been up around the Sunshine Coast a few times so know how great it is. I will have to check about calling in to see the parents of a mate who now live near Buderim on the way back, but thats on the way anyway.
If possible I will also call into see Streak..may as well do as many as possible! I stayed there early this year and quite liked the old part of town.

I'm in Maryborough, but only have 3, 4, 5, and 6th Oct off (I will be on a new 12hr rotating shift of 4 on 4 off).

My wife has friends in Maryborough, just a matter of time really as to whether I can call in for a while. I was thinking of ducking into Townsville on the way back, only because a mate used to be in the airforce and mentioned sitting on the hill in the evening to catch the breeze (and I have seen it on the V8 telecast and looks spectacular))
-
Mate, I will be there at the FarRide, but for a short period of time as i will be heading off down to Gladstone to finish off an IBA ride that is being done in conjunction with it. I will be doing a leisurely ride back from Gladstone to Brissy on the Sunday, so if you zip past give me a wave. :)
-
The missus & I will be dropping in on the way south.
We'll be doing a lap from Charters, Townsville, down the coast to Eungella.
Then home via Moranbah, Clermont & Bellyando.
It's amazing; 6 hours on the coast to do 430kms, or 6 hours inland to do the other 620kms?
Bloody highways, arrggghhhh >:(
Look forward to meeting you there.
We'll be the one's in our OzSTOC polo shirts ;D

As the organiser for the Eungella (Yun Gella as Diesel says it) FarRide I will be there also, as long as the bike is willing, with my 10yo boy.
Going to see:

Going up over Hervey's and down through Charters to Capella and then across to Middlemount and up through Nebo/Eton/Marian and onto Eungella. I will be staying over night so hopefully will catch up with a few others.

I'll be on the ST1100P with ACT plates. There was originally going to be three of us, but now I will stand out more as the only (ACT) one
