My route included Tumbulgum, Nunderi and over to the coast for a change to take a look at what recent development has occurred in Cabarita, Hasting Point and Pottsville.After this I returned to Mooball and dropped in to the village of Burrinbar then over the range of the same name, and noticed one of the fixed speed
