Gatton to Blackbutt day trip

Meet up at Falveys Sundowner Saloon (Haigslea) at 8am for a 8:30am departure.

-Head to Wallers Road at Gatton where we will then stop to air down tyres. Some easy to medium challenging 4x4ing in the Lockyer National Park. Tougher section closer to top- however if not confident (weather permitting also) there is another way around to meet up the top.

-Stop at Ravensbourne for a toilet break, check out the old steam train and air up our tyres. We will then head up to Gus Beutel lookout not far away which overlooks the Lockyer Valley.

-Drive north past Hampton to Crows nest- which if people would like- we can stop at a cafe called Little Blueberry.

-Continue north and turning off the black stuff we will be going through Pierces Creek and Anduramba onwards to Blackbutt.

According to the internet there are a couple of water crossings but nothing challenging. We shall have another stop along the way depending on time. When we arrive at Blackbutt of course you can head on back home but you should stop into the bakery.

Being we will be driving through several national parks, pets must stay home. No permits are needed.
