Mt Mee Daytrip

[RJS]

Took the family to Mt Mee on the weekend with friends. Mt Mee is close to Brisbane, probably one of the closest 4WD accessible National parks that I'm aware of.

We entered from the Lacey's Creek road end, and pretty much drove all the trails we could find.

Was dusty, and you can tell from the photo's which car was number 2 in the convoy..

Only challenge 4WD wise is the A-Break trail (for me anyway). Very steep in short sections, the Fortuner handled it with absolute ease.

Stopped off at the Somerset lookout, was a great view and then headed out. Exited out the Gantry, Sellin Rd.

Sorry about the quality of the photos, was having issues uploading a small enough size.

Have fun!

Nice one...I've heard the Glasshouse Mountains are a great place to get out and about at too. My Brother frequents it on his dirtbike and sees alot of 4wds.

Oh and check your air filter after that dust too, I'm sure its taken plenty in....

Thanks Monaz. I pulled the filter out on the day after, gave it a good blow out with the air-compressor. Looks like I may need that snorkel sooner rather than later.

I've not been to Glasshouse yet, but it's on the list. Mate has the "Dirty Weekends in SEQ" book which is now out of print and we are using that as a guide.

Glad you had a great Mt Mee day trip RJS,
Just went to Mt Mee on Sunday! Perfect day and A-Break was fantastic! Very steep and tyres to 24 PSI saw the GX going up North bound in low range 1st and 2nd without any issues or loss of traction! Dusty it was though.... but Glasshouse is clay mud and very hard to wash off while Mt Mee dust was fine to wash off...

I reckon to try out a 4WD close to Brisbane, Mt Mee is fantastic. Glasshouse would be awesome (I have driven there but only once) if I have a mate in a second 4WD to pull me out of trouble if I get stuck... Mt Mee seemed fine even as a solo adventurer...

Next time I will go up and back down A-Break!!!
Oh, I haven't checked the air filter yet....
