Hervey Bay is a favourite spot of ours. Beautiful there and the restaurant on the waterfront is amazing!

Harvey Bay is nice place. If you have time shoot up to Bundaburg and go to the rum factory.

I went to Akaroa yesterday. Really scenic place and the ride through the range was fun. There where a few nutters going at stupid speeds through the tight bends and not staying in there lane. I think they thought they were Rossi lol. I stoped at the Hilltop bar and also Little River. I recently brought a pair of Astars Apex leather pants and tried them for the first time. They are a tad long and the bloody zip digs into my ankle inside my boot. But hey are way warmer than my dragin jeans that I normally wear. I need to sew the zip into my Berik Jacket as the existing zip does not fit the Astars one. I do need to get a new jacket as my one is 100% perforated leather. A bit cool for this weather.

Yeah you get all the power rangers who think that so long as their wheels are on the correct side of the road they have nothing to worry about

They are the minority though. Just wait till the camper-van season kicks off

It is a beautiful spot and a fun road at almost any speed.

We try and get lost but it doesn't work as the Peninsula sticks out on the skyline wherever you are out there.

Man I see the Leeston cop almost every time

Have never been pulled up though other than the Springston checkpoints.
More often go the Coes Ford way these days for something different, but I come from the North.

Good wee restaurant cafe type place in Dunsandal too if you and your lady feel like something different one arvo
