See ya Hervey Bay - Hello Gold Coast

Up at 5 AM out at 6:15.  We've got this down to an art.  Took a while to get in the zone driving today.  We stopped more frequently and for longer breaks, a good idea.  The pit stops here are plentiful and range from a strip on the die of the road all the way to showers, toilets and free BBQ's.  Amazing.  Another pit stop revealed a nice sized park and information center in Gympie.  Nice little walk and pic opportunity.  After Gympie we hit a real new and smooth highway.  That was nice.  110 KM/h in places too.  The roads are getting more congested through the bigger cities like Brisbane, kinda miss the whole lot of nothing from days past.  On the edge of Brisbane we noticed a huge mall called Westfield.  We figured a Yoga mat could be there for sure. Big place.  Even found a haircut solution and more toothbrush heads for the month's ahead.  Hit the Main Beach Tourist Park in the early afternoon.  Nice place.  Way more rules.  Probably because of the cityish environment and it being a surfing town.  http://www.goldcoasttouristparks.com.au/mainbeach-parkhome
Went for a really nice walk on the beach, planned surfing lessons for tomorrow and chilled out for the rest of the evening.  Cool.

Typical public toilet.  Showers too


Shelter and a BBQ


Push the button and wait a few minutes


The cook top.  Free.  Just be cool and clean it after your done


Nice park.  The white things in the tree on the right are birds


Another BBQ


Red flowers this time



Integrating exercise is a common theme here


The Jucu fits nice here.  The tall trees are replaced by Condo's, doh


Wickedly long surfy beach


In both directions
