We left Ballina and Jim and Irene mid morning on Sunday for the short drive to the Gold Coast. Here we are staying at the Gold Coast Tourist Park in Helensvale which, since we last visited it some 8 or 9 years ago has developed into one of the best caravan parks we have ever visited. We spent yesterday visiting Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach and scouted out some locations for a drone flight to capture the beach and the city skyline of Surfers. As the sun rises over the sea to the east, I decided that the best time to photograph was at dawn so I left this morning at about 4:30 and waited for the sun to rise. It was well worth it - the still photos and the videos are spectacular.
Later this morning we drove up into the Gold Coast hinterland and then had morning coffee at Sanctuary Cove where once again the drone came out for a fly over the spectacular boat harbour.
Tonight we will be attending the free "sausage sizzle" put on by the caravan park and then tomorrow is our last day here. On Thursday we drive to Gympie to spend a few days with Saskia, Peter and Tilly. So far we have enjoyed fantastic weather apart from a few minutes of drizzle yesterday.
