Saturday our Aussie buddies Ted & Jill picked us up from our hotel and took us on a tour of the Hinterland; a fertile mountainous region (
The Great Divide) with vast lush valleys, plateau's and huge forests, Ted being a committed biker all his life took us on some of his favourite biking roads. Up over
Tomewin Range through the Tweed valley to
Tumblegum Tavern on the Tweed river for where we were treated to lunch. Through
Murwillumbah, Tyalgum and along the
Numinbah valley stopping at Chillingham for coffee. Up through
Beechmont where we stopped to watch paragliders launch themselves of a hill. We made a final refreshment break at a
Canungra Hotel for a cool beer, then it was through
Nerang back to the Gold Coast.
We had a terrific day with Jill and Ted, their pride in their country shone through during our tour... we last met over seven years ago when they visited us for the IOM TT, as with all true friends you make in life, today seemed as if we were never apart.
