Like a quick rewind of our journey north into Queensland, the drive south today covered the same distance as we managed in ten days before. Of course this time there were fewer detours and stop offs, save Lennox Heads, who could resist another dip in the tea tree lake? Well, Caroline for one!
Now, we’ve had a bit of rain over the past few days, but none quite as impressive as seeing this storm lurking over the hills as we had a wee stop. With flashes of lightning over the river, the clouds passed over accompanied by fierce winds and a noticeable drop in temperature followed by buckets of rain. As we were driving along there was a flash and the whip crack of a strike about a hundred metres away, now being a good physicist I know a car is the safest place to be, still scary though!
