a little mud, Maleny and Mt Mee


G'day all.

Went for a wee day trip with Dave (Robbo0001) up to Maleny on Sunday for a spot of lunch. Weather was perfect and the company ideal.

En-route, we visited the fire trails along side the pine forests near Roys Road. Unfortunately, no pics were taken along this little track, but suffice to say I enjoyed the opportunity to change the appearance of our exy

from this Image
    to this Image

The only mishap incurred was that part of the plastic underbody guard was pushed up by the water (after going through a small muddy patch) up onto the alternator (?) drive belt and made a bit of noise (until it was cable-tied out of the way).

Made it up to Maleny without delay and found a cafe for lunch, before bumping into some Wynnum friends in the street.

After lunch, we leisurely strolled through town, allowing the girls to pop into the little boutique shops. Dave's young fella was obviously over the "shopping" experience and made indications that he wanted to play. Dave found a nearby park where they played. I took the opportunity to snooze under a tree whilst the girls chatted.

It was decided then that we would head back to Brisvegas via Mt Mee through some magnificant countryside and winding roads. It is through this area that many "temporary Australians" also frequent, and we needed to be on the lookout for them as they cut across the road in their bid to break the landspeed record on two wheels ..... emoticon

Another annoying occurrence in that area were the bl**dy Sunday drivers emoticon
Thankfully, we came upon the Mt Mee Lookout (am sure Dave was about to give the leading SD a gentle "hurry-along" nudge) ... emoticon

emoticon to Dave, Tara & Will for sharing the day with Rose & I.

Stephen, sounds like you had some fun on your "dity weekend" BTW the paramedically correct term for "temporary Australians" is organ donors, we came across a number of them on the winding roads around Kinglake. The fun bit is watching them alter their line when they realise their head in on a collision course with your headlight or bullbar.

Hey Dave, your Xtrail is looking quite clean compared to Stephen's.
Maybe that is one of the drawbacks to having it raised ... it misses all the puddles emoticon

Stephens is raised as well but I think Dave went thru after Stephen took all the mud emoticon

Good to see you had fun!

Did you try for A break while in the Mt Mee area?

Regards Scot

After today's effort I think it might be the T31's are just more resistant to dirt...

No after a little off road adventure today with 2 lifted T30s it seems my T31 was the "cleanest" and none of us managed to dodge the "puddles"

Once the photos are added here I think you'll understand

Dunno why but the mud and dirt doesnt really stick to the car...not that I am complaining.
Steve dropped back a bit and I couldnt see him....Tara reckons he jumped out and rubbed it all over his car emoticon

Just jokes....a good drive and a nice leisurely poke around Maleny, got us all out of the house for the day emoticon

There is till a fair bit of mud around...some big vehicles have been through and really chopped it up, since the last time I was up there. The creek was about 10 metres wide and half wheel height as well, which was an interesting decision at the time, cos it had a decent drop offf on entry. The tracks are severely rutted and some massive holes, tend to appear out of nowhere.

A good drive emoticon
