The Town of 1770

Look it up. There is a town called 1770.  I arrived in 1770 around 1850 in 2010 on the 1200. 


I left Brisbane early this morning with Rob A accompanying me on his ex-police Honda motorbike.  We cruised around the hills to the north west of Brisbane for 200kms or so, before parting ways at Nambour. Plenty of time for a few coffees and a lot of curves. 










The distinctive profile of the Glasshouse Mountains under a gloomy layer of strato-cumulus.



In the township of Maleny (in the hills behind the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast) we spotted a solution to luggage space for the serious tourer.


A detail of this bike suggests that my BMW is possibly over-maintained.




A necessarily brief (I arrived late afternoon and had 140kms to go before sunset) but delicious afternoon tea was had at Bargara.  Thanks Jill.

Living on the coast of Queensland isn't all ocean panoramas, palm trees and exotic tropical plants, but this bit was.
