PhoenixSon Posted June 14, 2011 Hey guys, have come into some free time as im not working anymore and have a heap of time, and also a car this time round garden is looking good even with all the cold weather, except all the weeds ill have to pull out. Caapi is a monster now, she grows so quick, trying to contain it to a little area, but its not working too well have some plants/cactus to give away or whatnot, so who's keen for a meet? Where is a good spot for everyone? relaxed barbie in a park, botanical gardens, amanita hunting in pine forests ??? what time suits everyone the best?

PhoenixSon Posted June 14, 2011 what about first saturday/sunday of july? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamscape Posted June 14, 2011 I would be keen. Never met anyone from this site so a little hesitant. Im sure there are alot of us that live here in Queensland... So a get togeather sounds great. My suggestion would be a BBQ. Nothing like a good feed nd a couple of beers to get the chatter going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted June 14, 2011 count me in. anywhere but mt coot-tha if i'm to have any say on the venue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
∂an Posted June 15, 2011 a BBQ and a bit of a foray in the forest somewhere sounds great! mt glorious is good but might be a bit far away for some people. always wanted to visit glass house mountains too, might be fun to climb to the top after a BBQ or something. lots of pine forests in that area aswell.

Bush Turkey Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) might be fun to climb to the top after a BBQ or something. some of us are not fit Edited June 15, 2011 by Bush Turkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
∂an Posted June 15, 2011 some of us are not fit haha ok maybe climbing a mountain after BBQ and beers is a bit optimistic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slybacon Posted June 15, 2011 Im NSW, but I'll be in QLD that weekend. Please keep me in the loop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheather Posted June 15, 2011 Uni finishes for me on Monday. Then I'm free as a bird - Yaaaay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted June 15, 2011 depends which mountain you want to climb. tibrogargan is a major effort and if we try beerwah at least a couple of us will be flown to the morgue in a rescue chopper. good suggestions though any more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cactuscarl Posted June 16, 2011 Thought id already posted here but yeah I'll be in for sure can't wait to meet some like minded ppl somewhere round there would be good as I'm pretty close up on the range is always nice just a thought Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2Deep2Handle Posted June 17, 2011 I have have hiked (emphasis on the hiked, this is NOT a climb)(Thunderideal i would do Tibro or Beerwah with ya. Have all my own gear) Wollumbin 17 odd times all at night and all heavily intoxicated (except the few times i have been designate driver then sanity and sobriety have prevailed as my choices don't just affect me then :S) Nothing like been the first to see the first rays of the new day beaming down on everything for 200km in every direction. Much cooler that way too...its not cold until you get to the top. Could always hike it for sunrise for those who are keen and be back down in time in the morning to meet up with the others for BBQ (more drinks) and foraging around the bottom parts of Mt. Warning park studying her interesting botany? Kalika....optimism is where some of the greatest ideas are born. Just add the motivation and will, and you'd be surprised at the amazing things that can be achieved. Ow i have a serious back injury too.... so being obese or something is no excuse... no obstacle can not be overcome, no dream un-attainable...short of me wanting to give birth(i have a penis) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bush Turkey Posted June 17, 2011 im just straight up lazy man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted June 17, 2011 ummmm don't tempt me man it's a dreadful thing, climbing mountains, risking your life needlessly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
∂an Posted June 17, 2011 wasn't really thinking of ascending the peak cliff-hanger style, just an easy walk on the trails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhoenixSon Posted June 19, 2011 hey so far we have two options 1) http://www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/sitePage.cfm?code=maroochy-botanic-gardens I visited this place on the weekend and its pretty nice, some funky sculptures around the place.. and also a tabernaemontana pandacaqui. only bad thing is the travel for people Brisbane side... 2) Is one of the glasshouse mountains, and is a little less driving for the people south side Im happy with either one, so if everyone gets there preference in we'll go from there...

PhoenixSon Posted June 20, 2011 seems number 2 is the one most people are keen on... so more than likely thats going to be the one. Anyone keen for pedro cuts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamscape Posted June 21, 2011 Number 2 sounds a lot easier and more preferred for me. Havnt spent a whole lotta time in that area though anybody got a good meeting place to get things kicked off. Always keen for more pedro cuts. Will bring a bunch of brug cuts and some HBWoodrose, MGlory and Loph seed if anybody is interested. Any one with pedro seed and is willing to swap would be cool too.
