The Queensland 4x4 Club Inc or Q.O.R.A (Queensland Off-road Association) as it was first known was formed after a majority vote on the 20th May 1971. By the 17th of August 1971, the club's first constitution was passed and a sticker design had been agreed upon. A $5.00 entry fee was to be paid at the 3rd meeting with an annual fee of $5.00 payable on the 1st of July per year.
With 2019 drawing to a close, the club had had a successful year with the Corroboree in Blackbutt and of course, our members wanted to continue supporting communities and decided that a trip to Stanthorpe was in order. It didn't take long before Ben had spoken with his Mum and she agreed that we could stay at her place. Being the organiser she is we had a date, venue, and bus tour planned all before you could say 'Here comes Santa Claus..."
As we were lucky to get going in time due to late comers? A good day was had.
Well where do we start, I guess at the beginning where it all started from at the Caltex Big Fish northbound on the highway at Caboolture with Rudi & Adri, AJ & Bronwyn, Alex & Lauren, David M & Rob, and visitors Warren & Pauline joining us for the weekend.
Nothing annoys a Possum more than some upstart human shining an L.E.D. light beam in their eyes. Even 50 feet up a tree these invaders of Possum space can upset the natural flow of a quiet Saturday night.
The day started early but not ‘it’s not worth going to bed’ early. We were aiming to arrive at Levuka by 9.30am. The requested arrival time was 10am, so we would have time to set up camp before starting the first drive of the day.
