Default Lamington National Park

Ok maybe not totally Z related, but I just wanted to post, and say hello. And to see if any of you Z owners have been with your Z, where I have been on vacation.

My wife and I visitied Australia a few years back.
We rented a BMW Z3 convertible
One of the highlights of the trip was driving up a long and winding road, very narrow, all the way to the top of the mountain.
At the top was a resort named OReilly's. Boy was it paridise!

This was one of the highlights of our lives. I will never forget it, and hope to go back someday. But this time, drive a 350 Z up and down that road

Hi Snook789. I'm in Sydney but I haven't heard of Lamington National Park - sound yummy though
Which state is it in - we are a big wide country.

That's a damn long way from Sydney - 10-11 hour drive. I'll have to save that run up to Lamington for a tour of Australia by car. I would like to do this, but may be difficult in a 2 seater with limited boot space, that my other half will claim to herself!

Only if they are the ORIGINAL brown ones!

Dont be getting any of them fancy pink things. I dont know what the other tree the lamington tree was spliced to make those pink ones but they should cut it out!

It's just not the same

Funny that you mentioned Nasho as we locals know it. I'm going for a drive through it on Sat morning with a mate who has an 200SX. But he tells me it will be wet in the morning form the dew
After that i'll head out to Eastern Creek if some of the other forumites are also planning on going.
