UrgEnt WEATHER UPDATE 22/10/22 3:00PM

Sunday Beach Drive Update 

We have made the difficult decision to cancel the beach drive for the Sunday. This is due to inclement weather conditions, numerous local flood warnings and the safety of the Jeep community. 

We will still be offering a morning tea Jeep meet at Rip City Espresso at Sunshine Coast University Stadium from 9am to 12pm Sunday. Maps are below. 32 Olympic Way, Sippy Downs, QLD

The club has pre-purchased food for in excess of 200 people so please if you can and it’s safe to do so please join fellow Jeepers in a dry, warm and undercover location for this morning tea and catchup. 

This was an incredibly challenging decision but we feel the correct one.

Camping & Saturday Bush Trails Urgent Update
 
Even with the best contingency plans in place, including 2 backup plans, you still cannot beat mother nature. 
 
Late Friday afternoon we were advised that all the areas where most of our trips were planned have been closed for at least the next 5 days. Subsequent to this National Parks at about 7pm tonight, have now also closed the areas which had our backup easier wet weather tracks.
 
What does this mean? 
 
It means that unfortunately we may not be able to do any trips on Saturday as planned. There may an opportunity for some sort of drive but this will be very much scenic and we will assess this in the morning and advise those at camp in Kenilworth.
 
What about the Sunday Beach Drive? 
 
As it stands right now we are planning on still going ahead but as always we will continue to monitor closely. Weather is a fickle thing as we are sure everyone understands. 
 
Keep an eye on our socials and save this website page www.jeepfreakzqld.org.au/gtd for up to date information.
 
Thank you for your support and understanding.
