Return to Brisbane and onto Byron Bay, Lismore and Casino

Yes we had to return to Brisbane because my credit card got eaten by an ATM machine in Caboolture.

Here is the incident!

We did return to the same area in 6 days time to pick it up from a local Post office.

We headed up the Ngungun Mountain summit track inland from Bribie Island.

The rows of trees in the foreground are either Macadamia or Avocado trees.

These are the Glass House Mountains.



Now back in Brisbane we park up at Beenleigh south towards Gold Coast. 

The train ride into Central station with 23 stations and stops took 45minutes.

Wi-fi on the trains...nice!

 I returned to the Mac store in Brisbane and happened to see the same Japanese juggler flashing 7 balls like it was easy, 

and it was (for him)

The famed Byron Bay, the start of winter a grey old day and not a wave in sight.

Not allot happening ...parking is an issue for us tourists and motor-homers, so it was a quick tour up to the the lighthouse, drive around the car park and back out and onto somewhere else more friendly.


This at Lismore where we went to the local farmers Market, which just happened to have a State horse dressage event going right next door

I loved the patterns that they brush into the horses’ coats!

Beautiful presentations and a lot of grooming both for horse and rider!

Onward to Casino where we managed to get the last day, and the grand parade of Beef Week.

Where the ranchers and cowboys come to town. The cattle breeds are displayed in Main Street Casino. 

A cattle auction being held in the roundabout ring in the shopping centre.

Love the hats badges and characterful faces of real Aussie cattlemen.



Yup this bull is adorabull.......!

Foot note: I am now completing this blog from Rockhampton where the internet coverage is good.

For the last two weeks travelling inland up the A3 called the “Australia’s Country Way” phone coverage is poor, therefore there was no way to post a Blog!

Hopefully its all go now!

So I can catch up on our travels and post frequently.

Cheers & Caio
