Rode to Gold Coast via the motorway system. Pleased with my new wet weather gear as I encountered a couple of heavy downpours.

Immediately after lunch Brian threw me into his car and took me literally the full length and breadth of the Gold Coast.

Surfers Paradise is absolutely mind blowing with its buildings, affluence & the number of people everywhere. To me the further south we went the nicer and more like NZ it became.

Finished the day with a prawn pizza (from a Greek pizza parlor - go figure)
