vehicles. All vehicles must be able to drive on
gravelled forest roads as depicted in the
pictures.
The main event will start
on saturday at 12:00 pm. Please make sure you sign in before this
time. s
The event is points based
so you can have as long as you like to enjoy the scenery. There
will be a staggered start based on 'Sign in' order. There may well
also be a few 'challenges' en-route.
All questions will have a
strong Australian theme. There are five
topics:
Geography
Parks
History
Towns
Nature
There will also be
Kid Stops on the way to keep the little ones
entertained.
Waypoints will be provided
by GPX file. Please ensure that you bring suitable
leads to enable this to be uploaded to your GPS. Most Garmin units
have been tried previously, but if you have a different make of
GPS, please test that you can do this or contact me asap, so that I
can come up with a solution. (there are 100plus waypoints - feel
free to do them by hand if you like!)
The
route for the event is 36kms,nearest fuel is at
Kilcoy.
