  • Legendary Pacific Coast – 7 Days
    Legendary Pacific Coast – 7 Days The iconic East Coast 1,000 kilometres road trip from Sydney to Brisbane is officially known as the Legendary Pacific Coast and is one of Australia’s top road trips stretching 1,000 kms along the Pacific Coast corridor. Along this spectacular 1000-kilometre (621 mile) drive from Sydney to Brisbane, you will find something for all the family; stunning beaches, green rolling hills, beach and riverside towns, wineries, historic sites, the hinterland and wildlife watching. Day 1: Sydney to Newcastle (2 h 15 min 162.9 km via M1) Newcastle is Australia's second oldest city. With great beaches, ocean baths, inner city pubs and a thriving cafe scene, such as Derby street, Newcastle is a vibrant and happening place. • Two convenient ways to travel between the historical attractions and the gorgeous beaches are the Newcastle Coastal Explorer and Newcastle’s Famous Tram, a replica 1932 tram. • Alternatively, bring your bicycle or hire one and pedal from the heart of the city to the beaches and along the coast. • Refresh with a swim at Newcastle Merewether Ocean Baths. This city landmark opened in 1935 and is the largest ocean pool complex in the Southern Hemisphere. • Newcastle Memorial Walk was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli in 1915 and the commencement of steel making in Newcastle; it acts as a magnificent memorial to the men and women of the Hunter who served their community and their country. Day 2: Newcastle to Port Stephens (60.5 km via Nelson Bay Rd/B63) From sublime natural beauty to freshly caught seafood, Port Stephens is a wonderful beach escape on a sparkling blue bay.

  • Toowoomba Range Clearance Upgrade Works
    Toowoomba Range Clearance Upgrade Works notice Queensland Rail is preparing for tunnel floor lowering works through 1 rail tunnels on the Toowoomba Range and Little Liverpool Range. This project is being undertaken to provide clearance for international standard size containers which will support the agricultural industry by enabling the transport of agricultural freight via rail from the Darling Downs and South West regions of Queensland through to the Port of Brisbane. In addition, works will also be carried out at two sites on the Toowoomba Range to secure identified sections of slope to enable the ongoing safe operation of rail traffic in this area. What is involved? During scheduled track closures in January and February 2017, Queensland Rail will undertake site investigation works at all 11 tunnel locations and two slope stabilisation sites. These works will involve visual inspections and drilling activities and will be undertaken from 6am to 6pm each day between: • Saturday 14 to Sunday 15 January • Friday 27 to Sunday 29 January • Saturday 25 to Sunday 26 February. Vehicles will be accessing the Toowoomba Range rail corridor via a number of locations including Murphys Creek Road (adjacent to Morleys Road), McCormack Drive and Donnellys Road. Following these site investigation works and upon completion of the project design, it is anticipated that major construction works will commence in mid-2017. Construction impacts Residents in close proximity to the rail corridor may experience an increase in noise during planned works. Queensland Rail apologises in advance for any temporary inconvenience generated by these works. Queensland Rail Limited ABN 71 132 Queensland Rail Limited Works location Nine of the 11 tunnels are located on the Toowoomba Range, indicated by blue arrows in the image below.

  • Peaks to Points Festival Report 2016
    PEAKS TO POINTS Festival 2016 PEAKS TO POINTS FESTIVAL 2016 16 - 31 July 2016 FOREWORD The fifth Peaks to Points Festival was bigger and better than before. Over its 16 days some 3600 people enjoyed a mix of 45 activities and events at 37 locations on the southside of the Brisbane River. The Festival was initially conceived as the Oxley Creek Water Festival. In 2007 it was extended across the southside of the Brisbane River and the Peaks to Points Festival was born. The name celebrates the corridor of natural areas from Flinders Peak in the west, the source of Oxley Creek, to all the points on Moreton Bay south of the Brisbane River mouth - Point Halloran, Wellington Point and Victoria Point to name but a few. This year’s Festival followed the same approach as the inaugural Festival. It highlighted the issues facing the creek catchments in the area – Oxley Creek, Bulimba Creek, Norman Creek, Wolston/Centenary, Bayside and creeks in the Ipswich area – through showcasing the activities of the environmental and community groups working to improve our creeks and natural areas. through the Festival Family Day, workshops, walks, plantings, forums, nature journaling. The tours to the Oxley Sewage Treatment Plant and the Rochedale Landfill showcased key industries and demonstrated the highly technical processes involved in managing our wastes and protecting our environment. There was excellent attendance at many of the events, with some activities such as the native bee workshop and the bus tour to the Greenbank Military Training Area fully-subscribed. The Festival reached a wide audience spread across a large geographic area.
