An Epic June ride to Queen Mary Falls and beyond

With spring creek recently opened after significant repair work we were eager to again wind our up the mystical road to Queen Mary falls...and what unfolded for 30+ bikes and 35 riders was truly amazing.

 Our ride took us out through Beaudesert, Boonah, Moogerah Dam, Mount Alford before winding up the mystical road, straight out of the Lord of the Rings. Fording streams, navigating steep winding corners we are suddenly up with the mighty Aussie gums, gazing over magnificent valley's before we finally burst onto what appears to be manicured lawns of a plateau.

As usual we enjoy (?) our late breakfast at Macca's taking up our usual spot.

We descended on Spring creek cafe for a long lunch, sitting on the edge of an amazing escarpment the setting is spectacular.

If we went home from here it would have been enough...but we had a great ride home through dramatically different landscape, rolling Aussie open fields , through quaint towns like Killarney. It was here we bunkered under the street awnings from an isolated thunderstorm.

..we really are tough Bikers?

the isolated storm clouds held some rain
