Hey Everyone - I'm coming to Australia in late Aug 2010 and need to get some input on where to go. I want to be near a beach and near good mtn bike riding. I'll also need to hire a couple decent bikes for me and my girlfriend. Because it's in the fall, I'm thinking of going to the Barrier Reef area- do you call this North East Coast? Anyway, any ideas on a good place to go, with warm weather in August/September, where I can hire a decent bike and do some fun rides? I'm on a budget, but have been given a timeshare week, so hopefully that will cover my hotel expenses.
