24-Nov-2012 -- The story starts at 43°S 147°E and continues from 29°S 153°E.

In the morning of confluence day, I rode the 'Lions Road', a spectacular road that was funded by the Lions Club. It connects New South Wales and Queensland with grades of 19 % which is quite challenging for a fully loaded cyclist.

In the later morning, I reached the town of Beaudesert. Although I had become very hungry, I went on to visit the confluence point, which was just 1.2 km from the town center. On an arterial road in south-eastern direction, I measured a remaining distance of 177 m beeline to the confluence point. An open field between built-up areas gave easy access to it.

The confluence was in a meadow with short grass and a nearby pond. A glimpse into the neighbour's yard revealed an interesting vintage car.

After visiting the confluence and after having a giant lunch, I kept on cycling northwards, reaching Brisbane in the evening.
