Back on the bus to the end of the line at Broadbeach South (Pac-Fair). G-Link to downtown Surfers Paradise where we finally saw some evidence of this being the off-season. Cavill Avenue mall was almost deserted, and there was lots of space on the beach. Had a close look at the big red street art that was added last year (um, earlier this year!) for the Commonwealth Games. Back on the G-Link (where no bikes are allowed) and on to Southport to see Australia Fair shopping center and the Broadwater Parkland. Paying respects to the lady & her teddy is a mandatory event for us. Unfortunately, they are showing signs of age and abuse as there is no shortage of jerks that ignore common sense and the signage and insist on climbing the art installation. :(
We walked past a rack of rental bikes on the way back to the tram station for our return trip. Our beach is still there & is still always quieter than Surfers. Path construction progress continues.
