Distance	Overall Total

Back into the sneaky undulating aussie country side, where its never actually flat, and there seems to be more rises than downhill sections. Got into Hervey Bay about 3ish, and stayed in the Koala hostel.

July 19th - Noosa to Gympie

Distance	Overall Total
65 km	2513 km

I missed the bus to Steve Irwins "Zoo Australia", and since noosa seems to be as dead as a dodo at night time i said screw this and hit the road again. The legs didn't aggree with this decision, made really slow progress, so just called it a day in Gympie and crashed out.

Distance	Overall Total
112 km	2147 km

Mr Warning in the morning from Murwillumbah.



Started heading for Tweed Heads, and hit the gold coast. Followed the coast north passing through surfers paradise.



Headed for Mt Tamborine, some tough climbing but worth it for the views from the top. Stayed in a really nice cottage on Kidd lane in North Tamborine.

Distance	Overall Total
114 km	2261 km

Great start to the day dropping off the Mt Tamborine back to the lowlands. Stopped for lunch in the town of Beaudesert.

The final run into Ipswich was pain with tight, endulating roads with lots of city traffic.

Was passing this scrap yard, went this dog appears at my wheel, running along side and going mental. I unclipped one foot from the peddal in case the dog did anything and i had to stop. Seems to be going fine, near past this dogs patch, and its slowing down when the fucker makes a last effort and bits my leg - just a little scratch but still sore and some blood. Anyway the dog thinks its great now, and is on for more of this game.. I don't agree.. so the defensless leg thats been bitten, now turns into an offensive weapon. I flick the leg and get the heal to connect with the right ear area of the dogs head, he decided the game wasn't that much fun then..

Get into Ipswich and find Adam St, where Noel and Deirdre live.

Distance	Overall Total
82 km	2035 km

Easy enough day today cutting inland towards an acient volcano crater, the dirt road climb over the crater rim and descent was interesting. Mr Warning is the original centre of the volcano, and the only piece of rock that has not been eroided.
