Instead of Kiel mt. road, I took Eudlo flats road to Palmwoods & it was welcomingly, ‘flat’. (And yes few tough pinches near Eudlo). I took the Landsborough road from Landsborough to Beerwah (cycle track available..pretty good) & then to Beerburrum trying to keep safe on the Steve Irwin road. The road’s a nightmare for cyclists! Rough track beside Steve Irwin from Glasshouses to Beerburrum. Very helpful information centre at Glasshouses. Beerburrum road to Caboolture. Back way to Narangba,via Morayfield & Station road & to Petrie via Torrens road, Gympie road to Bald hills & Main Gympie road from Beams road into Brisbane.
Next time Il plan to go via the old gympie road from Landsborough to Caboolture. I’m keen to check out the Beerburrum forrest way also. I’ll get a better map. or maybe a gps!!
Camping is available free at Landsborough turnoff & near Beerburrum (free), & $15 a night at Lawnton & Caboolture showgrounds if anyone’s planning to be on the road overnight..
For me it was a cool trip.The rain gods baptised the road on the Sunday & Monday. Took the edge off the heat.

G’day Greg

Thanks so much for getting in touch. It was great to cross paths with you on the way back to Brisbane. Did you take a GPS log of your trip to Brisbane? I’d be interested to see which way you went.

The hill south out of Eudlo is tough, isn’t it? I was rushing to meet up with some friends who were getting off the train in Mooloolah, so I had to push it pretty hard up that climb.

I agree with you – Dullarcha tunnel is a lot of fun.

Neil

Coolum (Marcoola track). Got a chance to do a return trip to Brisbane this week. Loved it, especially the Dularcha tunnel.Shared the echos with a few horses on the way back. I’ll do it again!

Dean – absolutely. I’d love to live on the Sunshine Coast. For now, a couple of trips per year is ok, though.
