Day 19 Thursday - Back to Brisbane

I woke early to a terrific rainstorm - not good news as we'd left washing outside. I went looking for coins for the communal dryer and luckily cafés open early here - for example 5 or 6 am, then close by early afternoon as heat builds to intense levels.  The rain stopped after about an hour and it was breakfast on the terrace which was a treat from the local bakery. 

 We also checked out the weather at home 😮

Once we'd packed the dry clothes we got a transfer to the railway station and then aboard for the 5 hour trip back to Brisbane. I was on the right side of the train for the Glass House Mountains this time - they were named by Cook after the glass making foundaries in Yorkshire.  There's several but the trackside trees make it hard to get a good view.

Unfortunately at Beerburram the rain caught up with us and turned into a thunderstorm. They had to stop the train for about an hour as it had taken out some signals ahead. Once on the move again we were another hour to Brisbane. We had planned supper in the city but after the delayed train decided on an Uber to the airport where we're now waiting at the gate - next stop Dubai.
