One last island stop

For the final morning we left Eurong and headed north to Eli Creek for one more stop before starting the trip home.

After Eli Creek it was back south along the beach, across at Hook Point / Inskip and through Rainbow Beach before continuing home. The public route has the Caboolture stop and detour removed, with the trip shown finishing back at Mount Gravatt.

We made it back to Brisbane in time for the Broncos that night, which was a very different finish to the day after four days of beach driving and island tracks.
