Day 3 (Sunday, Oct. 5) - We got up and headed out of the peanut town and went to Bunya National Park to take a hike before heading home. The road to the park was twisty and narrow, and the road out was twisty and narrow until it turned into unpaved gravel. And these are major roads?? The park itself was similar to our Lamington experience, basically rainforest. The big difference here was the presence of Bunya Pines - an ancient species that has survived to the present. We had a nice hike, lunch at a cafe offering bunya nut muffins (despite a sign in the park telling visitors not to remove the bunya cones from the park since they are needed for the local ecology...) and then a long ride back to Brisbane. I was mighty relieved to get the car back in one piece and hop on my bike to meet Annie and take the CityCat back home.
