Toowoomba left everything and i mean everything filthy, Larry being the type of man he is insisted on arranging us a hotel for the night befor we set off down the Sunshine Coast in search of Sydney, not only that but he took all of my dirty kit and returned it clean and dry afew days later when we arrived in perth. Thanks Larry! With the clothing taken care of this just left us with the boots, helmet, trainers and camper to clean. We set off from the hotel just befor dinner on Sunday evening in serch of a power wash- No luck so it was left to good old fashion elbow greese with water being supplied by BP’s awesome air and water stations found at most of their service stations.
Everything now clean, along with a good feed and nights sleep we left on our little sight seeing adventure! First stop Surfers Paradise- With the time in Dubai i had chance to read a book on the life of the great Barry Sheen, It turns out in his last few years Barry and his family lived at Surfers Paradise so that gave us all the more reason to visit. Long beaches tall buildings and surfers, i dont think we expected anything different, kind of does exactly what it says on the tin! A walk around the town then luch at a beach bar (while dodging the killer seagulls) we then set off to our next destination.
Byron Bay- Altho the weather took a turn for the worse this place has to be one of the nicest places we visited, a small town, small bay style beaches, cool shops and home to the most Easterly point of Australia mainland. The jucy was abandoned in a car park, jackets and shorts on (we thought less to get wet) and we hiked up to the light house wich overlooks the town. The view from the top was awesome even on the dull day we had been given. One of the places you visit and think you would definatly like to go back to.
