flamingporsche Posted 30June, 2021 Report Share Posted 30June, 2021 Despite the ineptitude of our governmental overlords, I'm keeping a positive view of our trip to Lennox/Byron Bay C&C. So let's get some discussion about travel routes... Here's a couple of ideas: 1. Brisbane south, via Boonah, Rathdowney, Kyogle, Nimbin, Lismore to Lennox... https://goo.gl/maps/b1YkND66phcT6yyv9 Suggestions for detours around this track for more fun roads? 2. Brisbane south, via Canungra/Mt Tamborine, Murwillumbah, Nimbin, Lismore to Lennox... https://goo.gl/maps/hdbqLNn949RrMGDk6 Again, suggestions for detours. Could extend to Kyogle and a different direction to Lennox from there. What's your thoughts on these, or other ways down. Have you southerner's started thinking about how you will head up?

WOKA Posted 7July, 2021 Report Share Posted 7July, 2021 Either / Or.. And maybe do this bit as the run into Lennox as its much more entertaining than going through Lismore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOKA Posted 8July, 2021 Report Share Posted 8July, 2021 That's a funny thing.. I was going to say Route 1 outright (because it is a better run) but I was thinking of you Jasen, and umm, your want for a more leisurely drive.

flamingporsche Posted 9July, 2021 Report Share Posted 9July, 2021 Version 1A per @WOKA's suggestion: https://goo.gl/maps/2cHzaHCchtWSjhMx8 How are you southerner's going with planning the trip up? I will keep an eye on border pass requirements - currently us Qlder's need a NSW border declaration as well as a Qld border declaration. We will probably also need a NSW QR code app as well.

Port 911 Posted 10July, 2021 Report Share Posted 10July, 2021 At the current rate, the greater Sydney pep's will not be going anywhere. At this point, was thinking about from Grafton going up the Summerland way to Casino then across to Lismore. Could maybe try to meet you guys in Lismore for the drive across to the ocean. flamingporsche 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tingy is on a tight time frame, so we're going to smash it on the motorway for a lot of the trip. Hope to meet up with Rikkie on the way. Assuming, of course, that Covid restrictions are lifted by then...otherwise, I'm unable to leave town. Tingy, is outside greater Sydney, so he might still be able to head on up...but let's wait and see what transpires. flamingporsche 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishcop Posted 11July, 2021 Report Share Posted 11July, 2021 Looks like Anna is going '#me too' with Dan and propping up a hard border to keep us heinous NS Welshmen contained... Nothing like paying $100k + per year coppers to sit idly on a border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port 911 Posted 14July, 2021 Report Share Posted 14July, 2021 Two more weeks of lockdown announced today, takes us to July 30 , over to the QLD Queen now for the next move. Be positive all 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 14July, 2021 Report Share Posted 14July, 2021 High stakes ! we can wait and see how it goes, a plan B for QLD people will be something not involving the border. Sov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sov Posted 18July, 2021 Report Share Posted 18July, 2021 What's the plan for the Gold Coasters? Are people driving to Brisvegas? Or leaving from a designated place/time down here in god's country and linking up somewhere in the hills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 19July, 2021 Report Share Posted 19July, 2021 I think the consensus is still wait and see how borders are going. I would expect linking up is the plan. Sov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 23July, 2021 Report Share Posted 23July, 2021 Two weeks out and border closed. Looks like we are done on this one. Maybe replacement in QLD drive? Port 911 and Sov 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest there is little hope for our current August dates given how fucked the poor buggers are in NSW. Choices - I can call the accomodation & check out the September & October dates that coincide with C&C Byron Bay & see if we can shift accom dates. Probably easier if we just cancel accom & rebook when NSW is out of lockdown/ borders open. There is no penalty to cancel up to 48hrs prior for any reason - covid issues no contest. Better to cancel asap so old mate may be able to fill accom with NSW locals. I'm happy to do a drive on the Sat or Sun - wife/ permission dependant. Thoughts?

Jason E Posted 26July, 2021 Report Share Posted 26July, 2021 I've cancelled now for the 7th/8th Byron Trip. Bastard Covid. Perhaps a Sunday morning drive back of the GC. Sov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
