Outings Report

February Club Outing: Royal Hotel: Kalbar

For the February Club Outing to the Kalbar Pub for lunch the weather was sunny and hot. Thankfully, I put Air-con in the HQ (ha ha).

The first Club run of the year was excellent with a lot of great comments. Thanks all who came along.

We met at Browns Plains and had 22 cars ready to take on the Sunday traffic with a few new faces which was really great to see. Welcome.

We headed out toward Ipswich along the Logan Motorway, taking the Centenary Highway exit. We continued along on it until the end, where we turned left down the Boonah Ipswich Road down through Peak Crossing. From there, we took a turn into Roadvale Road where we stopped at the Roadvale Motorcycle Museum.

There were a lot of Harley’s and other makes there, and even a one owner HQ LS Monaro stock as a rock owned by the bloke’s Father who owns the Museum. Also a LJ Torana XU-1, which has seen a few race tracks. After a walk through the museum, we were off to the Kalbar Pub where we were able to park out the back on the grass area.

After ordering our meals, most of them started appearing pretty quick which was good as they were fully booked as usual. I had the Lamb shank which was yummy, and cooked excellently.

After chatting and handing out new membership papers, we heading back through Boonah stopping off at the Wyalong Dam for a look. Still no shop to get a drink from there. With tongues hanging out, we stopped off at Beaudesert for a drink. A great day with a few roads I hadn’t been on before.

If you know of any good roads of the beaten track, then let me know as it gives us all somewhere else to explore.

See you all at the March run to Toowoomba where we will be taking the Club BBQ trailer, taking the Flagstone Road up there.
