After brekky we headed back to Flight Centre at the Westfield Shopping Centre. We saw a very helpful girl called Sarah as Dana was unwell and not in. Sarah was from New Zealand and told us about all the places we should go in New Zealand and how long we should split our time between the north and south islands. We booked a flight in October to take us from Perth to Auckland and we also booked a flight from Christchurch home. We managed to get a flight via Bangkok for only a little bit more than the USA option. We were pleased about this as we can now completely avoid America. We also managed to get a really good deal on a hired campervan for New Zealand. With everything booked and our travel plans firmly in place we left Brisbane. We were going about an hours drive north of Brisbane to the Glass House Mountains. We asked our Tom Tom (or Bruce as we affectionately call him) to guide us out of Brisbane avoiding the toll roads. Bruce said no worries to this and we were off. Bruce was great and he took us on a route avoiding the M7 Toll near the city centre. A bit further on we found ourselves travelling through the brand new Airport Link Road. This is a huge underground tunnel that runs for about 10 kilometres right underneath the M3 Motorway. Bruce thought we were on the M3 but we weren't. We were underneath it. On the way out of the tunnel I just caught sight of a sign which mentioned the word toll and a phone number. I thought then that the tunnel might be a toll road but we saw no signs at all before the tunnel indicating that a toll was chargeable. All the tolls here are etolls with no cash booths. You have two days after the event to pay if you don't have an etag. We made a note find out whether we needed to pay anything. We were slightly ****** off with Bruce for this but realised later that it wasn't his fault. The Brisbane road map shows the tunnel road right next to the M3. We are sure that many tourists have been caught out by this. Brisbane has been a disappointment. Brisbane Council need to make the public transport more tourist friendly and put up much clearer signs for the tolls. Lots of people are complaining on internet forums about the price of public transport. It seems that most people like us only stay in Brisbane a very short time and move on because of the exorbitant price of public transport. Brisbane would earn more tourist money if it sorted this out. The road out of Brisbane was motorway for a long time. After about 70 kilometres we saw the turn off for the Glass House Mountains. They are a group of eleven hills that rise abruptly from the coastal plain. They looked awesome. We stopped at Mount Beerburrum first. There was a walk from the base of this big hill to a lookout at the top. It is 278m high and the path up was tough. It was extremely steep and very similar in it's extreme steepness to the path up The Nut at Stanley in Tasmania. This steep path though was at least twice as long as the path up The Nut. The walk up was well worth it though as the view was spectacular. There was a raised metal viewing platform at the top and from here all the other ten hills could be seen. There were some small fires burning below and with the smoke from this the view was totally magical. After clambering down, which was almost as ******* the leg muscles as climbing up, we drove to the Glass House Mountains lookout. Here there was a viewing area where all the hills in the range could be viewed. It was an exceptional site. One more needed to be climbed but right now it was too late. We headed to the camp site which was just a short drive away. It was a really lovely, quirky site set amongst some trees and we got a lovely quiet spot. It was chill time for what was left of the day. We were going to find out about the toll but we had no phone or internet signal here. That'd have to wait until tomorrow.
