The Gold Coast & Hinterland

On Friday 20th we left Brisbane and headed south to the Gold Coast for 4 nights. Successfully we managed to tow the caravan 100k down the road. The next day we visited the Mt Lamington National Park to see the rainforest. On the way we visited an alpaca farm.

Meet Roy "the stud"

After 20km of winding roads we arrived at the top to be met by Australian King Parrots and Crimson Rosellas.


Next we went on a walk through the rainforest which contains trees up to 2000 years old.

We then went on a tree top walk 20 metres above the rainforest floor.



The Gold Coast - Sunday saw a round of the Indy Car 300 championship run at Surfers Paradise. We spent the day revising for our written Australian driving test. On Monday morning we both successfully passed our tests with flying colours.
"We've Passed"

After receiving our licences we drove on the indy car circuit but within the speed limit.


Spent the rest of the day exploring areas of the Gold Coast we hadn't seen before like the Spit and Southport.
