This the route of the final day. The first four kilometres are s steady climb over the range between Kin Kin and Pomona at nine kilometres. Then there is a gradual climb to Cooroy followed by a little hill before it swoops down the final range at Tewantin.

The hotel provides the makings for a continental breakfast so I had weetbix and three slices of toast and strawberry jam before setting out.
This stairway is the is lnk between the breakfast area and the pub entrance.
I rescued my little bike from the barn and was on my way just after 8.00am.
The start of the first climb over the range. The yellow sign warns that the will be school buses on the range up to 7.45am so they wont bother me. After climbing for a little while I got off and walked as there quite a lot of traffic and my speed had dropped to wobble status. It was a leisurely 2Km walk and the scenery was very nice.
At the top I got this glimpse of Mount Eawarh next to Eewarh Vale which I rode by on the first day.
I had a pleasant coast down the range to Pomona passing Mount Cooroora on the way.
I stopped at the Pomona bakery for an orange juice and a fruit scroll. Details of Pomona are on wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomona,_Queensland
The Majestic Theatre.
Earlier I included a picture with a Poinciana tree. This is a much better one in Pomona.
Then it was an easy ride to Cooroy and along the range road to Tewantin passing Mount Cooroy on my right.
The final run down. The view from the top of the first climb last Friday.
One and a half kilometres from the bottom I was home. I shall post an epilogue to the ride in a day or so.
