This is driving down the road on the Steve Irwin Highway. I wanted to show the trees and how green it is here.

DSCF0576.JPG
Breakfast Creek Hotel where we had the best steak on Friday night. The original building was built in the 1880's. A little hard to see because it had started raining just a bit. This area was underwater 2 weeks ago and we could see very little evidence. Impressive how quickly and how well everything was cleaned up!

Clint took us for a tour of this Kratzmann sale facility where the race car shop is also located. What a nice place to buy a caravan!

Interior of one of the caravans. This one was really nice. I was impressed with how efficiently they use the space.

Pit gate at the first track we went to see. Nice facility.

Taken from pit side at Brisbane Speedway. Track looks to be between the size of Ventura and Show Low, not as much banking but a solid concrete wall all the way around.

This is the view from our balcony. Right now we are staying at the Sunshine Coast through Friday.
