Theres the SSAA yandina range.... only 100m and only open every wed morn for a few hours and most sunday mornings for a few hours...kinda a PITA.
Then there is imbil SSAA range which is open the 1st and 3rd saturday of each month and u can shoot allday. They have 2 ranges one is out to 200m and the other is only open when they have enough RO's and thats out to 700metres. Very friendly there

Looks like I'm smack bang in the middle of yandina and ipswich/ripley. 1hr 15m drive each way regardless, looks like Belmont is my only viable option untill Caboolture opens up (potentially never).

Then again what else would you expect

I actually went to Belmont today and it wasn't too busy and didn't run into any issues (no one asked me to remove my bolt between rounds!)
But at $24 to shoot + 1 hour drive / tolls it ain't that friendly on the wallet!
I recently got this email back from SSAA Rocksberg thou which sounds a little hopefully (sent them an email some time ago)
Hello,
Firstly, I would like to give my apologies for how long it has taken to respond to your enquiry. We have suffered enormous problems with our electronic communications and have only just today regained access to this email address. All issues are now resolved however, and I am sending this message to all who have tried to contact us in the last few months.
SSAA Rocksberg branch has finally resolved all the legal issues regarding the construction of our range and are now in the process of sourcing quotes for the works required and are seeking the funding to complete the project.
As such, we will not be shooting at Rocksberg until works are completed . Please keep in contact with us so we can keep you up to date with progress.
Yours sincerely,
Jim Mason
Secretary
SSAA Rocksberg Branch Q61
