Arriving 10 1/2 years too early

Recommended Posts

Another replication of one of my real holiday drives takes us from Hervey Bay...

... with nice detail, but not-so-nice weather...

... towards the city´s Woolworth (and its parking lot with the huge white sunshades), to get some cookies for the day.

The first waymark is Maryborough, ...

... followed by Gympie, with its numerous (red) traffic lights.

Then we wave at the Sunshine Coast...

The M1 goes directly past the runways of Caboolture...

... and soon after we reach the outskirts of Brisbane. I wonder where they will build the area for the Olympics 2032. But I trust they will only make Summer Games here, no trials with artificial snow...

Brisbane river embracing the CBD...

... and we go into the new 01L!

Which is big enough for a soft landing...
