The Real Vacation Begins!

Trying to share a 2 week cross country adventure is tough so I have decided that I will do it mostly with photos. Most of "blog followers" buy books for the pictures anyway, right? Today I will focus on 2 amazing areas we visited before leaving the Brisbane area. After the race we traveled to Mt Tambourine on our way to Lamington National Park. I will always be the kid that would prefer to meet the locals, see the mountains, birds and animals rather than tour 100 churches. So John, Nicole, Joe, Christine and Joe and I set out to explore the closest National Park we could find and it was soooo amazing! On the way we drove through a mountain town called Mt Tambourine for a late breakfast! It was beautiful and well worth the thrilling drive on the wrong side of the road on narrow mountain backroads! Obviously I wasn't driving!
Nicole came to Worlds equipped with some great noise makers that appeared to be a whistling duck...and there in Mt Tambourine didn't we find many cool shops including the Whistling Duck, a Porn Fudge Shop and the best breakkie ever!
