I've been out of town for the last five weeks. Up in the clouds at Canungra (Gold Coast hinterland). It was wet and shitty for most of my stay but this didn't stop me from getting out a bit.

There was some drinking, lots of it taking place at one of my new favourite pubs in the world, Clancy's at North Tamborine. Although I did head into the Gold Coast a few times, I dared not take my camera, it was a shit hole full of bogans who would have incessantly asked me to take photos of their fake tans, Southern Cross tattoos and wildly pretentious garb - sorry, off the high horse.

I had a great time riding through the hills on days where it constantly drizzled. These are the best days for exploring rain forest!!

Some afternoons I headed to the coast for a walk along the beach or a roll along the foreshore.

Steve and I headed to Lamington National Park one Saturday.

I also had the opportunity to photograph one of Rod's cars. We had a great time light painting, it certainly is addictive.

Then Rach came up and we drove back to Canberra via Byron Bay and Forster.
