Brisbane POTN: General Ramblings Thread v2.0

Okay. When was our last big meet? Was it Southbank?

In any case, we're well into the new year and we're definitely due for another. Who's interested and who has ideas?

I was thinking that we've done quite a few wanderings of Brisbane so what about a walk around more of a beachy (that's not a word, is it?) area, like Bribie or somewhere on the Gold Coast? (Maybe a bit further south so we can entice Kinnon before she buggers off )

Sam, was it you who wanted to head out Samford way somewhere? Did that ever go ahead?

Well I recall Sam mentioned Mt Nebo, and there was some interest in trekking around my backyard (Cedar Creek, past Samford).

Also, Kinnon mentioned Mt Warning.

None of these has yet occurred.

Mt Nebo. That was it!
And I forgot about your backyard, Dave.

I think Kinnon was looking at Mt Warning on a Monday though.

Well, we have a few options already.
We need an availability roster as well

And Paul, didn't you want to go to St Helena Island at some point? Did you ever get there?

Caloundra and surrounds wouldnt be bad either, just a bit further north though.

Nah, not yet.

I am keen to come along to my first meet, but depends on timing. The suggestion of Bribie sounds OK - would love to get some sunrise shots from a beach. I would also love to go wandering through a forest with my current interest in macro photography. So I guess that is no help at all - apart from the fact that I am flexible and will turn up anywhere it is decided to go

Buderim Falls and Kondalilla Falls are both up that way... we've had rain recently too (just to state the obvious).

Kondalilla / Buderim Falls
Caloundra
Bribie Island
Mt Nebo
Cedar Creek (Dave's place!)
Gold Coast
Mt Warning

Roadtrip anyone?

Nope! But I'll go along anytime...although St Helena is best seen in the cooler months. There's no shelter.

Mt Warning is Leech City in wet weather and clouds stop you from seeing anything anyway.

Was there someone in our group who flogs Pelican cases? Send him/her a subliminal message will ya? I need one.

John's the man you're looking for. This is his store.

I don't think I'm a fan of leeches. And good point about the clouds.

Thanks Nick. You're a legend.

If you're looking for a good walk, the Brindle Creek walk (in the Border Ranges N.P.) is very photogenic, but it's leech city too...and probably flooded as well. Best leave that one for a while.

No problem.
We'll have to put Brindle Creek in the to-do pile then.

I'm up for a POTN meet, not too fussed about location as I'm always happy to try new styles of shooting! Would be good to actually meet you guys seeing as I've only actually met Tim


*sigh* got to love cheap hobbies Just dropped $2500 on another bike (second hand!). Between photog and bikes, I'll be living at home for ever!

John shambles in, I'm home again

I've spent more time away from home in the past week than there.

Mmmmm, almost a new thread and I'm only up to 182 or so postings - sigh, I feel such a failure
