First update for the ‘Apres Cit-in ‘B’ Tour’
After being a bit too slack over the last couple of months I’ve finally got things going. I spent today in maps, notes we took back in August, on the phone & even a couple of emails. Here is a guide of what is planned. Remember it will be school hols. so book early, especially at Carnarvon Gorge. Be sure to mention Citroen Car Club when booking, may even save you a few bucks!! I have asked a couple of places to find the local poet or Slim impersonator to join us around the fire in exchange for a few beers.
Mon. 2nd April, Dalby to Roma, 320km. staying TWO NIGHTS at Villa Holiday Pk. 07 46221309, [email protected]
Tues. 3rd April, spending the day in Roma, same booking.
Wed. 4th. Roma to Springsure 310km. staying TWO NIGHTS at Springsure C’van Pk. 07 4984 1418, [email protected]

Sun 8th. Car’von Gorge to Mitchell. 320km. Staying at Major Mitchell Caravan Pk. 07 46236600. majormitchellcaravanpark.com.au There are artesian hot springs to soak a bit more blubber off a short walk from the park. This park is on the main road west so be sure to book early!
Mon. 9th. Mitchell to Condamine. 280km. Staying at Condamine Caravan Pk. 07 46277179. Not a big place so not lots to see but the inside of the pub (across the road) is worth staring at for a time, several beers time actually. Be a good place to have a feed too.
Tue. 10th. C’mine to Maleny. 350km. We have one room that our house sitter will be using, a couch & a verandah. Maleny Hills Motel 3ks. down the road. 07 54942551. Or Maleny Tropical Retreat adjoins our place, 07 54352113. I’ll even cut the grass to our fence if anyone stays here! Or if your after something really special there’s Lillypilly Cottages right beside us. 07 54943002.
I also had another idea of spending a couple of extra nights & go to Rainbow Beach on the way home. Big coloured sand dunes, real pretty place. I just ran a traction run there, 10 tractions came. It’s a bit less than 2hr’s from home. Let me know if you would like the extra time away & I’ll do some booking, remember it’s school hol’s though.
Please contact me by email if coming [email protected]
Keep’em up n pumping Steeley
P S. It will be handy if those coming had a CB radio, hand held will be better than nothing. Also If you can get hold of three RACQ maps… Brisbane Sunshine Coast, Rockhampton Mackay Gladstone, & South East. they’ll cover where we’re going. Steeley
The Post Cit-in Tour - the B Tour - is being arranged by Ian Steele as per message below.
G’day to all who are coming to the 2018 Cit-in at Dalby Qld. I have been asked to organise the ‘Apres Cit-in tour’. It has been noted that several people want info. on the tour, I hope this will suffice for the time being.
After organising the last one in 2011 from Stanthorpe there was a problem deciding where to run this tour. The problem wasn’t finding somewhere to go, rather it was trying to get somewhere within a practical distance as Qld. is such a vast state.
Helen & I just did a trip to Cape York, we travelled 12k. km., didn’t leave the state, & only covered a fraction of it. Probably 1,500km. of the 12km. was, admittedly extra we did while setting the 'Apres Cit-in Tour’. On the way home while were in the chosen area & not wanting to run the tour on main roads there was lots of back tracking. For example we went to the small town of Injune 3 times, normally a blink is enough to miss it.
So, I hear you ask where is it going? Carnarvon Gorge, & up to through the gem fields of Rubyvale, Sapphire & Anakie, which are near Emerald, Who’s gonna be shouted the biggest mounted gem stone by a loving spouse? That’s where, then back to our place near Maleny. You will cover quite a vast variety of terrain en route & nights could be starting to get cool, days still warm though.
I have chosen a name for the run, "B Tour", here’s Bloody why. There is.
Beer, Bulls, Beef, Brigalow trees, Brolgas, Big Bulls, Big Bulls with Big Balls, Bad language, Bloodwood trees, Bulldozers, Big Bulldozers, Brumbys, Big Boots, Bottle trees, Bustards, they’re Birds, Box trees, Brumbys, Bad roads, Burgers, Big Burgers with Big chunks of Burnt Beef on ’em, Big B doubles called road trains, Bunya trees, arucaria Bidwilli, Bad Breath, Both types of Bullshit, Bottle Brush trees and Bouncing on Big Bumps, Toyotas, lots of Toyota Landcruisers & some Barstard running the show.
The B Tour will be, I think at this stage, about 10 days covering approx. 2200km. We will traverse over quite a few good dirt roads, though there are alternative sealed roads in all cases. Of course once we get to the stage where we aren’t tied to a timetable it could be extended. Also, if somebody is running out of time they can do a runner & leave anytime.
I have been to Carnarvon Gorge a few times & done quite a few of the day walks, an overnighter once. One of the most spectacular walks is only a couple of hours return. There isn’t any camping in the National Park, unless of course you are out o’night. We will be staying a few k’s from the park where there are cabins & camping with plenty of space.
A lot of collating is yet to be done on my notes so of course there will be more of these emails with places we're staying & ph.#’s so you can make ya bookings.
That’s it till next time, hope to see ya’s in Dalby. Any questions please email me. [email protected]
