Day 4: Wed 17 Feb - Rainbow Beach to Tweed Heads

Drive: 346km

Ride: 13km 

Started the day with a 13 km bike ride.  First up was the climb up the hill (which happens to be a CAT 5 climb, according to MMR) to Carlow sand blow.  The down hill was good though!  We then rode out to Carlow Point where Greg paddled yesterday and then came home.

After brekky and packing up, we left at 9:30 am.  We had a late mornos at the Puma service centre just outside Gympie and lunch was at the Eagleby Service Centre, South of Brisbane.  This was probably not the best place to stop as we were sandwiched between two massive B-Doubles with no breeze at all.  No worries, we made and ate our salads and were on our way.

The traffic through South Brisbane and the Coast was horrendous.  Although it flowed nicely, there were lots of vehicles, small and large, on the road, some behaving, others not being so nice.  We arrived at the Colonial Tweed Holiday & Home Park (site #69) van park about 3pm and set up, unpacked and took a walk around the park - there are more permanents than visitors at this park, but the amenities are very clean. 

Dinner was pre-cooked lamb stew and veggies.  Bed followed soon after as we were both buggered from the concentrating we had to do to get through the traffic.
