Farewelled Byron Bay this morning and made the 60 odd km trip up the road to the Gold Coast via Mullumbimby and Murwillumbah. Nice little drive. Had lunch in Murwillumbah, which is on the Tweed River, and right in the heart of Sugar Cane country. From there we took the Currumbin Rd up into the hills and crossed the border in to Qld high in the hills behind Burleigh Heads.
I haven’t been to the Gold Coast for about 20 years and wasn’t really impressed with it then, so I wasn’t really looking forward to going there. Andrea had done some research and found a promising looking caravan park in Miami, so we booked in there.
Arrived at about 3 o’clock and found a real gem of a park. It’s situated on a 200m strip of land between the Gold Coast highway and the Miami Beach. The Miami Surf club is adjacent to the Park and the lifeguards are on duty 7 days a week on the beach.
More importantly, the Surf club has a very swish little café attached to the premises so in effect the Caravan Park has its own café. You beauty!!
Went to Dreamworld on Sunday (Mother’s Day). Had a great day. I haven’t seen the girls so excited about something for a long time. Liv and Rube about the rides and Jas & Daisy about Wiggle World. All that Daisy wanted to do was give Dorothy the Dinosaur a cuddle.
We did all the big rides. Tower of Terror…. Easyyyyy! The Big Drop…..I know why they call it that…. I nearly dropped something during that ride I can tell you.
Monday we spent at a very leisurely pace alternating between the beach and the shops and the camp.
Tomorrow (Tues) we head off to White Water World, which is part of the Dreamworld set up, for some serious water action. Have just found out that we are meeting some friends (The Reinbolts) from Melbourne there, so it should be a great day.
We are planning on pushing off from here on Thursday morning and heading for the Sunshine Coast.

Hey Lukey & the Getsons, great photos. St D's are REALLY missing you....(Did that sound sincere?)
Thanks for the e-mail Lukey, nothing like being heckled by the whole family! Hey Luke, how come no photos of you on the water slides? Wouldn't photos of you in the ol' speedos pass the censors?
Vince
Ooorrrhhh, doesn't Dreamworld look a hoot!?!
Thank god you didn't don the budgie smugglers though Billy ... by the look of the steep incline on that water slide, I'm thinking a sharp case of Mega Wedgie may have done the crown jewels some long term damage, & we can't have that happening, can we!
By the way ... why haven't you caught / or secured some fish in the last few episodes??? What the hell have you been up too?
Right O then I'm off; When do you get to the Big Pineapple? You'll have the trifecta then, big sheep, big bannanna (& I do mean big bannanna) & big pineapple; you can come home then ... you'll have seen it all!
Take care - love to all from the Getson's (Warranwood / Panton Hill chapter)
Hope this works !!!!! so here goes. Really enjoying narrative and photos.It is very quiet here, with the Getson's gooone.Another 4 months to have peace in Melbourne!!!!
