Surfers Paradise

From Byron I travelled up the coast (suprise, suprise) to Surfers Paradise.  Although it was late in the day, I thought I'd get my bearings for Sea World, so I drove out onto the spit near Main Beach.  Having found Sea World, I also noted in the Wiki Camps App that some people had camped on the end of the spit, even though it was only a park.  I drove out, and although the road out and back was sealed, the further I went out, the sandier the side of the roads got - I was beginning to think I'd never turn the van around.  I found what looked like a boat ramp of sorts, and that area was firm enough to turn the van around so I parked it to take in the views of Surfers, along with the sunset (see below).   Although it may have been a great place to camp (and also pretty quite), I really needed a shower and a chance to prepare for Sea World the next day, so I drove back to a caravan park near Main Beach.

And here's a LINK to a couple of other shots of the sunset.
