Hi everyone, I'm back Thanks for the hints and tips our trip went great. First 2 days rain but that cool brought the rain with from home it rained the whole trip up. On the last 2 days sunny. It's first time on the gold coast (Broadbeach). It not to bad everything in easy access. Beautiful place with lots of walkway and cycle tracks and girls . Beach hmmm not much of a beach when it's high tide. On the way up only saw 2 coppers 1 Hwy - 1 unmarked (white commo) both near Ballina. On the way back I saw around 6. I sat around 107kph and under in 100 zone and 117kph and under in 110 zone cruise control on. Hwy police didn't mind even the one hiding behind a signpost. Lucky me guess I’ll find out in a few weeks if I did anything wrong. :auto: For the car can't fault it went like a dream. Left on a full tank and first fill up was at Macksville. Drove around the gold coast for 3 days out to movie world, sea world and harbour town. Filled up before leaving GC and made it to South Raymound Terrace before refuelling for the run home. I managed to get around 720km out of the tank, not bad for a 4 speed Auto. The drive home took 15 hours with lots of stops bloody kids but was a fun trip. Thanks again all. :angel:
