Having great holiday in Gold Coast Hinterland near Mt Tamborine. Have taken the bike up there twice - its 8kms and slightly harder gradient than Waterfall Hill.
Getting to the bottom of the hill with a friend we came across three race horses on the road. Once we managed to pass them we slowed on coming traffic down and dropped into the Bearded Dragon Motel to raise the alert. The owner said two words - "My beauties!" and was off in a flash into her car. We road back behind her to control the trafic when a police 4WD came by and I gave him the info as he road alongside me.
We pulled up and I used my bike as a road block whilst they slowly mustered the three horses up. Sure enough they were race horses.
Here ends the drama.
The only other excitement was having to call signals for dead cane toads on the side of the road for my friend following me. They were everywhere and a real threat to bring a rider down.
Such are the wild dangers on the QLD roads!

Nice! But where's the photo? Or it didn't happen.
They do make a mess on the road but are ever so much fun when you hear the 'pop' noise as you drive over themThe only other excitement was having to call signals for dead cane toads on the side of the road for my friend following me. They were everywhere and a real threat to bring a rider down.
