This is central for S.E.Qld Honda S 2000 enthusiasts
@ Yatla Pies, Yatla.
Drive & conditions: Plan on making a leisurely day of this as plenty of good conversation creates great friendships and spreads S 2000 knowledge. Lots of twisties, spirited driving and wide open runs atop the mountain. Well surfaced roads so slight drop ride should be ok. Slammed or Flush/hella flush drive safely
As always you are responsible for how you drive and your own car.
Non S 2000's are welcome as we have a lot of past and some future owners, as per usual if they can stay at the back of the pack and out of photo shoots, then they are most welcome.
1) Route will be up Mt. Tamborine, to the hang gliders lookout, for our first group photo shoot.
2) Continuing on we'll descend the mountain via the "goat track" (regrouping point will be at the stop light
for a quick line up shoot.)
3) Turn LEFT at the intersection at the base of the "goat track", heading towards Canungra Army base where you
turn RIGHT and follow the Beechmont Road up to Beechmont Mt.
4) NOTE: the next regrouping point and photo shoot will be at the Beechmont Primary School Car park opposite
the school.
5) Continuing on we take a short drive and turn LEFT at Binna Burra Rd. to Binna Burra Mt. and The Lamington
House
A top for those that are KEEN, there is also a rainforest treetop flying fox experience.
but you'll have to book, so let me know..
6) Depart for the optional, though recommended drive home (via Nerang.) Heading down the Mountain via Beechmont, and Lower Beechmont to Nerang Gold Coast. Possible photo shoot at the dairy farmhouse if general interest, also an opportunity to buy some FRESH milk.
FOOTNOTE: My dream, would be to have this drive become an annual event with visitors joining in and other locals organizing and creating events around this S.E.Qld annual drive. The possibilities are only limited by your own mind.!!
That piece of road in the states looks awesome. My favourite run here would be through the Brisbane and D'Aguilar forests, Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious. That would be a worthy contender as it has a hardened reputation for sending folks off the side of the mountain, into the trees, the hospital or the morgue. Or a combination of all of them.
