Do you have a spare bed John? Split the cost if you do.
I have a studio unit (queen bed), but can check about getting a 2 bedroom unit as pricing is for up to 4 people for those, and would work out cheaper with at least 2 - one bedroom has 2 single beds.. I will check tomorrow and let you know.Booked in for the Saturday night. Will be there for lunch and the evening.

Ok, I have changed to a 2 bedroom place. Two single beds in the second bedroom, queen in the main. Up to 4 people, but of course depends on the mix of people ;-*I'll definitely have one bed.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone reserved a table at Elz for Saturday night? It's the only place to eat in the Bunya's from memory and can get booked out.
We'll see all you good people up there on Saturday afternoon. We won't make it to lunch as the route we're taking to get there isn't direct and we're not planning to leave till about 8am, and we're going to head over Mt G, Esk, Hampton, Maidenwell blah blah blah and eventually hit the Bunya Hwy at Kumbia. So we don't expect to get there till mid afternoon. We're travelling with Brian and Nat Crawford.
John, if you need a place to stay in Brisbane on Friday night let me know. There's abed here for you (infact I can now give you a whole boat to stay on ... lol). So your welcome to stay here and either head off a little earlier so that you can still meet the rest of the group for lunch, or travel with us?
Cheers
Barry and Marissa.

Can't make this one either folks - but for those who are going - please note that there is an expectation of up to 300mm rainfall due over the next few days - up unitl Sunday :eek [size=78%] [/size]
Barry, I may stay the Friday with you but go up for the lunch. I will be back in June staying in Coolangatta for the week, so can do all those roads a few times then. Does the boat come with the glamorous blonde :wink1We'll see all you good people up there on Saturday afternoon.

Due to water in the engine, I'm not going either.
With all the flooding I am tempted to call it off for Safety reasons.
OK, its been asked so I'll ask again, how did you get water in the engine Gaz?
And that's your only excuse for not making it to Bunya the next day? :Stirpot
Kinda reminds me of a saying.....
"If it's flooded forget it"
Heard it somewhere ....... But glad your safe and well Gadget
Shiney has skilfully guided me through the process of removing the Tupperware and we removed the spark plugs, cranked it over, sprayed water on the walls and ceiling of the garage. Put the plugs back in and after a bit of cranking Pan Fired back into life.
Water poured out of the exhaust onto the garage floor. After it warmed up, steam came off the radiator and have us a small fright as it looked like smoke.
While it was apart I took the opportunity to turn the Air horn around so that the trumpet pointed down and inwards towards the horn vents. Now quite a fair bit louder and now it won't fill with water.
Thanks a million Shiney! Awesome work.

It wasn't flooded until the bow waves combined. Small cars were getting through. The impatient ones in the 4WD were the biggest problem.
But it does show it doesn't take much to change from OK to Shiiiiit!!!!!
... After a hearty meal we refueled and headed out to the Bunya hwy at Kumbia along some lovely back roads and then made our way into the Bunya's.
.. we headed for home again via Maidenwell, but this time via the Maidenwell - Bunya Mtns road which has a short 4k section of easy dirt.
PS - how painful is it having to do 60km/h down the Blackall Range on thatracetrack... nice piece of meandering road?!! :||||
So do we put Bunya down for next year?
