MT TAMBORINE & GOLD COAST

There was a change of weather overnight and when we awoke it was very cold and raining persistently. When we ventured outside we found the clouds had descended on us and visibility was limited as shown in the photo. Conditions being unsuitable for bushwalking and sightseeing we decided to spend the day looking around Surfers Paradise.

We found this great playground along the Gold Coast beachfront. Faye couldn't resist a ride on the pedal train.
Lizard climbing mound and slide
Electronic wheelchair swing sponsored by the children's charity "Variety". Carers apply to council for access to this enclosed area and it is electronically operated.
Children's obstacle course for bike riders.

There is a bicycle track that meanders along the Gold Coast beach front stretching from Coolongatta to Southport and beyond; an easy relaxing ride with numerous interesting sights along the way.

We had fun dining at a "Sushi Train" restaurant in Surfers where you sit at a bar and choose plates of food as they pass by on a conveyor belt running around the inside edge of the bar. The cost is determined by the colour of the plate on which the food is served.

We spent the evening with Faye's nephew Geoff and his wife Lisa and met their three children (Tara, and twins Chelsea and Matthew). We had such a good time there we forgot to take a photo of the family.
