A three hour drive from Brisbane this parkrun was an overnight stay for us. The park where it is located was called ANZAC named after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps it's main feature is Ululah Lagoon which was a source of fresh water for the Aboriginals and early pioneers. I just loved the way all the Pelicans utilise the pipe that appears to draw water for the local golf club on the far side.
It feels like we have not been parkrun touristing for ages and after a quick check of the 5 kilometre app it has only been just over 4 months since our last new event. That is a pretty long time for us, any way it was good to be on the road and visiting a new place. As were were walking to the start line we spotted another uber tourist. What are the chances of that. Out of 500 odd different parkruns are our friend unknowly has pick the same on as us on the same day to travel too.
The young fellow with his hands crossed behind his back was at his first parkrun event and took of like a rocket, luckily he had studied the course and knew the way.
The run brief after a bit of rain over night.
This course has been really well marked out by the local council.
