This weekend we headed south for some cute and/or commercial villages, and some surf & turf. We ascended some 500m to Mt.Tamborine, where the village had a definite cute overload. Then down we descended, toward's the Ms' friends' party in Slweepy Hollow.
On the way we visited the rather over-the-top Party and Shopping Central known as Surfer's Paradise, which looks like a cross between Las Vegas and Miami:

As the sun set before we got there, some rather spooky rural roads were travelled in darkness. The party was a hoot and a half, with very good 'dutch-oven' lamb and chicken roast on open fire etc.


The second day we went snorkeling and diving in Byron Bay, the easternmost point of the Continent! I saw some wonderful schools of fishesh, a couple of stingrays, and a couple of little sharks. A good time indeed.

Tomorrow I'll be starting my bicyckle journey up north, hopefully all goes well!

The antipodeans call bi-cyckles 'pushbikes'. I fear to delve deeper into this oddity, although the few cycklists I have observed seem to operate the penny-farthing in the traditional manner.
