We packed the trailer at a leisurely pace
because we had to wait at South Ballina until
the mail arrived. Sally & Bob had forwarded our mail on for us on Friday,
it arrived about 1pm and we set off for the Gold Coast once we received it. The
South Ballina Beach
Holiday Park
had been a nice friendly park with a great atmosphere at a very good price of
$16 per night for a powered site.
We rode through Tweed Heads and Coolangatta
on our way, hoping to come across a border sign and take a photo. We managed to
arrive in Queensland
without even knowing it; we never saw any sign of a border.
Harley Davidson has a contest that is
called the ABC’s of touring. I have to take a photo of Tony, his bike and the
Harley magazine the Enthusiast or Hog Tales at towns starting with every letter
from the alphabet. There are bonus points for all of the above at borders.
We arrived at the Gold Cast Holiday Park
after a bit of running around, they’d changed the name since the RACV guide was
published. The park is just across the highway from Movie World, so we won’t
have any trouble finding that. It’s another park where you need a key to access
the amenities.
We couldn’t get any TV reception at all at
this park, but the internet reception on our laptop is great. There is a
constant hum of traffic on the highway.
