Title: Codemine river trip on Thursday
Post by: lloydus67 on February 24, 2018, 12:38:55 PM
I had a spare day and wanted to do some light 4wdriving close to brisbane. So we decided to go to the Condemine river.

It was an overcast day but mostly fine. Once we drove through Boonah, we took Milford road and drove some nice gravel roads until we came back to the Boonah - Rathdowney Road. Heading back towards Boonah for about 10 klms, we then turned onto the Carneys Cree road (Falls route) The first 15klmsish are bitumen, but then becomes a nicely graded gravel road

We climbed the mountain to over 1000m’s  in kooreelah national park

We were way up into the clouds, so unfortunately no views
But had a great lunch at spring Creek mountain cafe.
From there we went down into the gorge where we proceeded to cross the condemine river 14 times

This was just below the cloud line so made a great photo opportunity.
All in all a great afternoon out
Lloyd and Monica

The road has been graded.
