Day 20 - Maryborough QLD to Ballina NSW

Completed 445km today (probably a touch more as I went into Burleigh Heads & Byron Bay on my way)
Departed: Maryborough QLD 8:00am. Final goodbye to my dear friends 😢👋🏼
Arrived: Ballina NSW 3:30pm
Driving Conditions: Sunny all day ☀️ a little bit of fog around the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Cool breeze when I stopped at Burleigh Heads for lunch.
Traffic: Easy drive on M1 Bruce Hwy until I got to Coomera. Then holiday traffic 😩 the Hwy is 110km limit but only managed 60km for most of the trip until I got passed Coolangatta.
Stops: Burleigh Heads (crazy amount of traffic from the Hwy to the beach) Byron Bay Lighthouse (quite an experience getting there and getting out 🚗🚙🚗🚙🚗🚙🚗)
Accomodation: Heritage Inn Ballina. Clean & comfortable, fine for a one night stopover.Read more
