We left Causeway Lake, and stopped off at a town called Gin Gin on our way to the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast (pop. 500 000) is a real surprise to us, because we expected a brash, noisey concrete jungle and it has turned out to be a very pleasant destination. It has about 30 km of very good clean wide beaches, which are not at all crowded. There are a lot of high rise buildings, but they are not offensive.
We cycled up the coast from Southport to Sanctuery Cove (very tastefully designed gated suburb), and then on another day we rode down the coast all the way to Coolangatta/Tweed Heads on the New South Wales border (70 km). The bike network here is very good. Tomorrow we are heading down the coast to Sydney via Byron Bay.
