Directions on how to get to Buderim Forest Park from Brisbane

This is the quickest way to get there without having to go through Buderim and get stuck in the traffic

Take the Sunshine Coast Turn Off From the Highway

Get onto the Buderim Exit Heading Left...

You'll see a small rundown Petrol Station, Just past there is a T Section that Turns off towards Buderim

Go up the Hill towards Buderim on Crosby Road..

Once you are at the top, You'll see the road go to the right, with a intersection going to the left labled William Street,

Turn off to your left, you'll see a street come up on your right called Besley Street, Turn off there.. its a small street, once at the other end, take a quick right then left into Tulip Lane.. its nearly a cross section.. but theres a house in the way.. LOL

Drive down to the end and turn Left, you will then be on Lindsay road, Follow the Road down the Hill, you should be driving through Dry looking Foresty and Bushland...

Once your at the bottom, you'll see a white sign to your right that says "HARRYS" Which is the entrance to Harrys Restaurant an Buderim Forest Park, its on a corner as the road goes around a bend .. turn into Harrys and you'll be at Buderim Forest Park, Grab a parking Spot and We'll See you at the M&G

Trev, sorry to see you wont be able to make it

Welcome to the forum Bob

Not too late Marco, air fares are cheap

by **SteveGriffin** on Sun Mar 19, 2006 9:43 pm

Hey Tim unless they get human cloning up in the next week there will only be one of me. For most people that is enough. :shock:

by **Zeeke** on Sun Mar 19, 2006 9:47 pm

Damn ... or maybe you have an evil twin?

Tim

by **Dargan** on Sun Mar 19, 2006 11:54 pm

Hi Zeeke Thanks for that work on the satellite there, that is a cool

way to show directions, looking forward to a chat next week. I am going to bring along an Intuous 3 for Oneputt to play with if anyone wants to look at it.

by **Zeeke** on Tue Mar 21, 2006 12:56 am

No worries Dargan..... thought it'd be easier to navigate that way

Tim
p.s. Look forward to seeing everyone at the M&G... 5 days to go

by **TonyH** on Tue Mar 21, 2006 10:45 am

Sorry, guys it looks like I may not be able to make it.

The Queensland Taekwondo Championships are on this weekend and I've been asked to compile some shots for upcoming marketing that's required. The main day is Sunday with some stuff Saturday.

If I can finish early enough on Saturday I'll be there.....

I'll try my best as I'd like to get up there and meet you all.

Regards

Tony

by **Zeeke** on Wed Mar 22, 2006 7:42 pm

Well.... Just been looking at the weather forecast.. the conditions dont look favourable.. with forecasts of showers.. but its still early days and the weather bereau is never always correct.. anyways.. ill let everyone call it.. im still keen, with a bit of rain, the waterwall will really be flowing and the streams will be active.. and hey.. it is a rainforest :lol:

but still.. let everyone call it on friday and see how we go

Tim

by **xerubus** on Wed Mar 22, 2006 7:55 pm

i'm out

look forward to the next one.

cheers

by **DionM** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 8:35 am

Might be able to make it. Got to pick up some relatives from the airport but I might be able to scoot away solo for a few hours of the afternoon.

Also depends on the weather, I probably won't come up if it is raining.

Importantly, if it is overcast, will all the Nikon owners whine about high ISO noise because they now have to shoot at ISO 400 due to the low light?

by **Oneputt** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 8:42 am

Yup weather is not looking promising. Likewise I am not overly keen if it is going to rain.

by **Zeeke** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 5:22 pm

Wish I knew what the weather was doing.. its now clean blue skys.. just windy...

Tim

by **Zeeke** on Fri Mar 24, 2006 1:28 pm

Despite having clear blue skys and fluffy white clouds over top... I think we'll have to postpone the M&G.. the forecast keeps saying Rain Squalls and there is a predicted 35-40 knot winds here.. we dont wanna stuff up anyones day by trying to hold a M&G in the rain..

If the weather does hold up and a few of the local members still want to get together, it could possibly be arranged if folks are still keen

Sorry to do this folks.. but the weather is unpredictable..

Tim

by **CraigVTR** on Fri Mar 24, 2006 1:38 pm

Tim

I will be there regardless of the weather. If it is raining we (assuming some still want to go) can sit at the rotunda and have a chat.

Craig

by **blacknstormy** on Fri Mar 24, 2006 2:08 pm

Still sick, and sick of being sick

I think I'll buy some shares in a tissue factory ...... and even worse, one of my lovely co-workers made me a cake today, so they rang me up to wish me happy birthday, and 'pseudo cut the cake'!!!!! LOL - nice thought huh?

Tim - not sure how it is up there at the mo, but down here, heavy heavy rain squalls with driving winds, then clears to sun, then back again..... like being on a yoyo really .... Will check in again later

Rel :mrgreen:

(closest thing I could get to Mr Snotty

happy birthday rel! hope you get better soon...

cheers

by **Zeeke** on Fri Mar 24, 2006 2:30 pm

Happy B'day Rel Get Well Soon!!

You take too many good pictures when your sick :lol:

Weather is still very blowy.. and at the moment, its just really windy and bright blue skys... been like this for the last couple of days.. then it rains at night... bloody confusing if you ask me.. as I said.. ill postpone the M&G ... but if people still want to show up, its upto them.. I live 5mins from the Meeting spot.. so if folks still decide to go, i can meet them there

Tim

by **SteveGriffin** on Fri Mar 24, 2006 3:40 pm

I will make a prediction that it will be more of the same for a few days yet. Almost certainly getting worse as Wati moves further south.

I will stick my neck out and forecast that Wati or its remnants (may degenerate somewhat as it moves south) will cross the coast between Double Island Point and Byron Bay. If I were a serious punter I would say sometime Monday or Tuesday NB. I am not a serious punter

I will be playing by ear for tomorrow but not really keen to get my new 70-200VR

wet

by **Zeeke** on Fri Mar 24, 2006 8:42 pm

Looks like your predictions might be right Steve..

Wouldnt want to get your 70-200 vr wet either

BUGGER

by **Zeeke** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 12:37 am

Yeah... big bugger.. but we dont wanna risk it with our camera gear

Anyone busy on the 2nd of April? (Sunday next weekend)

Tim

by **Oneputt** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 7:08 am

Tim the weekend after is the weekend that Nicole is up here again from Melbourne and she is keen to catch up with everyone again.

by **DionM** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 8:19 am

Well it is nice and sunny today :?:

But my wife has come down with the flu very hard and I think it would be risky for my future camera purchases if I were to run away today

So I will have to pass and look after her.

by **Zeeke** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 9:00 am

Crystal Clear Blue Skys here too..

John, what did i tell ya on thursday on the way to Kevins? :lol:

Tim

by **SteveGriffin** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 9:40 am

I think that I will crawl back into my hole as a weather forecaster :shock:

by **Zeeke** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 9:46 am

RUN!! LOL

Im Still planning to head down to the park... and it looks like Craig is still going.. so.. going by the weather, if your still free and want something to do, your welcome to come!

Tim

by **SteveGriffin** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 11:40 am

Tim given the way the day is panning out I will be there around 2

by **Zeeke** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 11:42 am

Still a beautiful Day... ill be there at 2.. .. dont know what time Oneputt will show up.. probably around then too..

Tim

by **CraigVTR** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 12:38 pm

Hi guys

Craig

by **blacknstormy** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 12:57 pm

Hey guys - have already talked to Tim, and don't want to make all of you sick

Have a good one - can't wait to see the shots

by **Finch** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 4:59 pm

Sorry I can't make it to the get-together.

Would love to come along to another one planned in the future.

Enjoy!

Cheers

Michael

by **Zeeke** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 8:18 pm

Sorry you couldnt make it Michael.. always next time

We had Oneputt, CraigVTR, Slider, SteveGriffin, Neroli, Dargan and BobG there with his Wife, it was a great little M&G i think. with a few members vowing to come back again to the area to capture the morning light some time... good to see everyone made it through without breaking a leg.. the terrain can get a bit trying at times and it was great to meet Bob who is a local member! look forward to seeing a few of his posts on the site

Cheers

Tim

by **CraigVTR** on Sat Mar 25, 2006 8:29 pm

Hi guys

The Sunshine Coast M&G turned out a great afternoon. Good turnout with
Bob G, Judy, Tim, Mark, Steve, Michael and Oneputt to name the people whos names I remember. Sorry to the other guys, I can remember your faces but names are not my strong point.

Iam sure there will be some great shots posted over the next couple of days.

A public apology to all who attended, I the idiot parked at the top car park whilst everyone waited for me at the bottom car park. Tim i have just had another look at your map and I now know where I went wrong. Sorry everyone.

I will post a few photos later in the week. Unfortunately work now calls. GTG.

Craig

by **Bob G** on Sun Mar 26, 2006 9:40 pm

I really enjoyed meeting everyone on Saturday afternoon.

Thanks for arranging it all Tim.

Looks to me like there is quite a bit of collective talent and knowledge amongst you all.

I hope you have another event soon or if any of you need a shooting buddy fron time to time please let me know.

Most times I can get away and with reasonably short notice

Bob G

by **SteveGriffin** on Mon Mar 27, 2006 9:53 am

It was great to catch up with everyone on Saturday. I always come away from these meets with renewed lust and lots of new ideas. Hopefully these will convert to skills in the not to distant future :shock:
