Yeah Iget it, but the post is meant mainly for the Australian RCU members.

That's funny Scott.:D
But lucky me it's just down the road apiece from my place, so I'll be going for a look.

How far is that from Wynham.
Yes yes I know I am in Auckland but I have a brother-in-law in Brissy.
A long thought, but possible. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/devious.gif</p>

do you mean Wynnum?
Wynnum is about a bit over an hour away I'd say. Go north across the Gateway Bridge until you get to the Bracken Ridge exit. Then go west along Bracken Ridge Road, cross over the Bruce Highway and you're on Gympie Road.
Follow that thru to Lawnton and turn right at the pool opposite BCF.

Once we are completely converted to socialism here I'll be moving my family down under, may as well be close to a good RC lake right?
