Queensland Day 3

This morning Jon and I got up especially early (but not earlier than the majority of Gold Coast joggers I have noticed), and drove about 10 minutes to Seaworld. Not because I wanted to break in and free all the seals but because I wanted to investigate the 7.5km Federation Walk which starts opposite the park (and even has its own website). It was a nice change from running on the bike-paths and it was good to get more of an insight into the geography of the place. It’s just amazing that more people live on the Gold Coast than in the whole of Tasmania.

Back at home we packed up and headed north to Ikea for breakfast The kids had their traditional breakfast jelly and Jon and I enjoyed the breakfast refillable soft drink (good thing we went for that run!).

After that we continued north past Brisbane to the Glass House Mountains where we forced the by now quite grumbly kids to do a 6k circuit loop walk.  

Jon and I really enjoyed it (not the grumbly kids, but the hike). We came across a metre long procession of caterpillars which was cool, and we also got great views of these crazy Glasshouse mountains.
