Ann & Dennis took us to O’Reilly’s on a range of mountains of the caldera of an extinct volcano. Stopped for morning coffee in a little town called Canungra, a logging town of old (100years) wooden buildings, now a haven for bikers who ride up there to enjoy the winding up hill ride and views. After we wound up hill to the plateau where the O’Reilly family have built a hotel, mountain garden, cafe, tree canopy walk etc. we had lunch, then took to the tree canopy walk. This was amazing really high on suspended walkways. Even a high tree climb to the top of one of the enormous tree. Paul and Dennis did it ( the climb), I held the bags at the bottom! Enjoyed the mountain botanical garden. Fed the birds, with them all over us.

On the way back to Brisbane we took in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. Beautiful beaches for as far as you can see and high rise accommodation. Great to see it. Walked along the beach and watched the evening surfers
