Quick trip with camper. Day 2

Had a bit of a sleep in and lazy morning as it was still windy and cool outside the camper. While I was having coffee and breakfast the local wallabies and scrub turkeys were hanging around hoping for some scraps. 

While I really like the ease of pack up with the camper, the thing I didn't expect was how nice it is to have water at the flick of a switch rather than having to tip it out of a jerry can.
I wandered back into Canungra and had a rather ordinary sausage roll from the bakery down near the fuel station and planned how to get home without going the normal boring route back to Nerang and the M1. So after leaving Canungra I turned off towards Beechmont and took the steep windy road around to stop in at the Hinze Dam for an early lunch. I don't often drive on the Nerang Murwillumbah road but every time I have, I have seen a police hand held radar just before the turn to the dam in the 80 mph section. They must have good business there.
I had quite a nice coffee and lunch at the dam cafe before having a bit of a walk around for a look. 

Then it was further south taking the Pine Creek Road turnoff and heading up another steep and windy track to the Springbrook road where I turned back towards Mudgeeraba and wound my way downhill this time. From Mudgeeraba I was able to take the side roads and stay off the M1 getting through to Old Coach Road which took me into the back of Tallebudgera and then through the back of Elenora and home. A very lazy 135 Kms today through lots of windy mountain range roads.
