So If everyone is happy we can make it 10 am Sunday 31st August in front of the cinemas top floor carpark Pacific Fair Broadbeach.
Maybee we could go to Purlingbrook falls for a BBQ, I will zip the bike up there beforehand to make sure its still suitable as I havent been there since I was a Kid.
If we have enough people interested in the future we can find a big flat area and hold a bit of a motorkhana or car game day where we blindfold the driver and get the passenger to navigate a course etc, there are some good days spent that way and its great to catch up and Meet each other. All on private property of course.
I also can make up a Navigation Run for everyone if they are keen for future days out.
I have tonnes of ideas having been part of a car club since before I could walk or talk but If you have a suggestion feel free to put it forward and we can include it in the future events.
Cheers Tony
Does this still suit?
I think its a nice spot to sit and chat and a picturesque drive too, somewhere you wouldn't go in the normal path of daily driving.
Cheers Tony.

Anyone who wants to come along is welcome,You dont need to be from the Gold Coast.
Hopefully This post will get moved to events soon as its no longer just chit chat.
Its not really what I would call an Event either, at this point its just a casual get together of anyone who wants to meet up in the Gold Coast Area.
We had a great time last time and should be a good day out this time too,
10 am Sunday 31st of August meeting out front of the cinemas on the top level of the Pacific Fair Carpark at Broadbeach.
See you there

we have 2 very young kids so need to be able to plan and pack
Also have a kombi to look at down the coast either before or after

Tony,
as long as it stays just chit chat, the thread can stay...
Just start a new post in the Comming events.
I see no reason to move this thread!
Its good reading!

Thanks for the post T.
Have you checked out that place for us....
Doesn't matter if it isn't a nice place, we could go to the same place again....who cares. Just all VW cruise is enough.
Just let us know what facilities are there....BBO, playground, if not will have to be picnic or cafe.
Hopefully my bug makes it!....I will take a tow- rope & have hubby on stand by again.
to tow me again if necessary.

I will ride up to Purlingbrook falls in the next few days to check whats there,
But I believe there is BBQs and Toilets and maybe some swings.
I will check for sure and if its not suitable I have another spot in mind
But a BBQ does sound like a good day to me, I Dont think that there is a shop nearby
I will post a report as to whats there and what might be good to bring.
Cheers Tony

I proposed to my wife at purlingbrook falls and saw naked european backpackers swimming in the waterhole, so have fond memories of the place.
its a really nice walk down the creek.
there are shops near by.
:sandrine
Yes please check that out for us & post...
perhaps a BBQ is a great idea.
Let us know what is there & we will bring whatever is necessary.
Thank you again for running around for us
,,,it is appreciated.

Ok After a couple of hours of trying to start my GSXR1100 I admitted defeat at the hands of a collapsed battery.
So Herbie and I went for a drive, the long way round, over hinze dam and out to natural arch, the whole while, swearing blind that Purling brook falls was out that way somewhere, We eventually turned around and went back up the Springbrook Nerang road which was half way through being fixed,{you thought it was rough the other weekend!} Then we got to Springbrook Mudgeeraba road and turned right up the hill toward Hardys lookout.
We did soon enough find that all so familiar roadsign that had obviously been moved from where I had thought I last saw it,{Purlingbrook falls <- }
Who would do such a thing?
We finally got to the park, It had changed a lot from when I was younger but it looks better for the changes,
Like "Bugged Again" said, There is a shop just down the road, walking distance or so,from the BBQ area, There are about 4 One Dollar coin operated BBQs there and some shelter and quite a few picnic tables and seats. There are signs showing that Fueled fires are ok but not open fires so Gas BBQs would be ok if anyone wants to bring their own. There is water on tap, But it is signed as NOT DRINKING WATER unless it is boiled, perhaps its just fresh water and they take no responsibility for its use, so maybe bring some bottled water for drinking, especially if you want to go for a walk through the waterfall.{where I went Naked swimming in the hope that I meet some friendly naked european Backpackers}
It should make for a good day, its about 30 klms from the Pacific Highway, So fuel up and get on down to Pacific fair Cinema carpark at 10 am Sunday 31st August.
Call me on 0411 637 286 if anyone wants to know anything more,😎
Cheers Tony
