We say our goodbyes to Jenny and Dave before rolling out of Glen Villa and departing Byron Bay. As we leave NSW this morning, Pam is keen to hit the local return and earn and collect her $2 before crossing into Queensland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a few other chores to do today. Firstly we drive to Burleigh Heads to inspect a unit our daughter has made an offer on. That done we continue on north on the M1 to Arundel. We booked the Jayco into the Iveco Dealer on the Gold Coast a few days ago to get a spare key coded and to replace a broken mirror lens. Arriving, it all goes well until a mechanic points out the duels on the near side are going down. Bugger ! Long story short the key is coded, the mirror replaced and we replace two tyres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All that drama aside, we return to the M1 and head south, turning this time for Tallebudgera. Frank and Tina have invited us for drinks and dinner, they tell us their now unused tennis court is a level place to park our Jayco. We met on a small group tour of India a few years ago, so it\u2018s a catch up evening and some memories of our mutual travels. The most inspiring part was meeting Tina\u2019s Nonna, an amazing 97 and going strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We dodge the cane toads making our way back to the Jayco after a lovely dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the M1 again continuing north toward Brisbane. The traffic is chaotic heading north and often congested to the point of being stationary heading south. Quite amazing given the M1 is 3-4 lanes from the border to Brisbane. The traffic thins as we near the Gateway Bridge in Brisbane and the rest of the trip to Bribie a pleasant drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
