Another day , another adventure , todays is a drive out to Caboolture and some exercise on the bikes . The Caboolture to Wamuran Rail Trail caught our attention - the old railway hasn't been in use since the early 90's , so they have converted it to a rail trail for walkers/runners & cyclists . It was used to transport timber to timber mills - the timber mill is still here - now surrounded by suburbia - it has 10m high sound reducing walls , and seems to be a little out of place . The trail is primarily flat , but does climb gradually all the way to Wamuran - a small town to the west about 10.5 kms away .
It goes through a lot of pine forest , running beside the D'Aguilar Hwy .
It also goes underneath another road through this bridge / tunnel on it's way to Wamuran .
Back to the ute again , we decided to go back to the van via a back road or 2 . The road to Mt Mee looked interesting , so away we went first driving to up to Wamuran then up to Mt Mee . The road up was similar to Mt Glorious , we ended up on top of the mountains again . It's hard to describe the views we were getting , but they were spectacular when you could find somewhere to pull up and have a look .
From the top of Mt Mee the road then heads back down to the valley below and to the town of Dayboro - a very popular destination for Brisbanites - a little like Berrima in the Southern Highlands , but with a larger population . Here's the Crown Hotel .
This is a section of the main street .
Being a week day it was relatively quiet , it was also later in the afternoon so probably a lot quieter than normal .
From there it's was back to the van again , another enjoyable day . Here's a map link :- https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=14ctKYLROqg8_yCdvSphXCg0-zQrkG2w&usp=sharing
