Make sure you have the numbers for trees on the road and the link to the Mudgeeraba creek heights in your phone.. As we move into the school holidays, the influx of visitors to the mountain all day every day means we need to slow down a bit and keep an eye out for people who dont know our roads as well as we do. They often dont have phone signal and stop in the middle of what looks like a quiet country road to figure out where they are but in reality is our main road... We've said it before, please slow down. The whole mountain is actually a 60km per hour zone. New to the mountain? Checkout www.lovespringbrook.blogspot.com for lots of local info!
