    On Wednesday I had the pure pleasure of a day ride on the back of a Harley Davidson with Wildfire Tours. The destination was Toowoomba, however the route taken was the highlight and not what I was expecting.

    Leaving the Gold Coast took us through Canungra, Beaudesert and Boonah heading towards Warwick. The sheer delight of these rides is that you never know where you may end up so the left turn at the Lake Moogerah sign (approx 150km from the Coast) was a surprise but brought absolute awe at the destination. Calm, glasslike lake, amazing scenery and such tranquility. A fantastic place for a Sunday ride and a picnic so go prepared. You’ll want to linger a while. (I’ll definitely be riding back there.) After a nature walk and a looksee at the dam we rode onto Warwick for a short stop. I just love the old buildings and the slow pace of life in the towns we passed through.
