Sorry about the ‘SHARP’ business below, but if we get cracking we can stop and relax later at more picturesque spots.

(Take M5 then Logan Motorway/M2. From Logan Motorway take National Route 13 exit.)
9.30: Depart Beaudesert for Lions Road
- From Beaudesert, head towards Rathdowney on Mt Lindsay Highway.
- Before Rathdowney, and just after Tamrookum, turn left onto Innisplain Road, which becomes Running Creek Road and eventually Lions Road.
- Roadwork done recently – taking out a few exciting bits – but still very picturesque.
- Road upkeep donation box at border.
- Watch out for cows. (Attention Leigh Owen.)

Sunday 28 February
9.00 am -ish: Depart for Bangalow for brunch at either:

Route home still to be decided …
