Sunday ride Mountain to the Sea. - Busarider - 28-08-2011
The wife and I headed up to Mt Tamborine for breakfast then down the other side to the ocean then back up over the Mountain again and home. It is much more fun taking the long way around. Saw a couple of Busa's so gave them a wave.
On top of the Mountain.

Our favourite cafe on the mountain.

The view from the other side of the Mountain looks down to the ocean.

Watch those little bird buggers! I tried to pick one up like you do a budgie, by sticking a finger underneath it and lifting it so it steps onto your finger. It worked but the bloddy thing wasn't impressed and proceceeded to bite a chunk out of said finger. As I shook said finger, the prick of a bird refused to let go which left me madly running around screaming like a girl(sorry to all the non-screaming girls) and spraying blood everywhere with said bird hanging on by its beak trying not to be flicked off into oblivian. It did let go eventually, and eventually the finger healed. It was very funny after, but hurt like shit for an hour or so, and I still get ribbed about it-and the "budgie scar". BUT just don't think they are pretty and just like budgies! the little darlings can take a lump out of you, and dont let go !
Beautiful area BTW.

We were going to buy a home up there in Mt Tamborine but couldn't sell the place we are in now, not enough money was offered
It's call God's Country!!!!!!!!!

Great pics.
I have friends that live in Tamborine, so I want to try and make the trip up when I can. I was a bit upset when Bazman was up there recently. Would have loved to have been there too.
Cheers .. Dale
