Queensland - Lowood, Tarampa and Rifle Range GPS tracing
Posted by chas678 on 30 January 2010 in English.A country drive to get some more GPS traces around Lowood, Qld today. That blank spot on the map to the East of Lowood has been grating at me for a while now; well that blank bit turns out to be the Forest Hill-Fernvale road :-) Here's the general tracing area:

Also discovered a fantastic viewpoint today as well, at the top of Freeses Road, ( -27.506, 152.592 ), incredible views. From the road signage on the way up (a blue sign, white lettering saying hanggliding ?), this appears to be a hanggliding launch spot as well; although I couldn't work out how to tag it, or where exactly they launch.

Judging by what I've seen in other areas, hang gliding is usually an area, more than a spot, some times they show signs where approved landing areas and emergency landing areas are as well. If you know all that you'd probably group it all as a relation.
