In the evening we went on a tour of Springbrook National Park which didn't turn out to be a great success as it depended on two very unpredictable entities, the weather and wildlife.
To end the tour we went on a night drive around the national park, to a lookout for a great view of bright lights of the Gold Coast and then just around the lanes to try and spot some wildlife.
It was still wet but relaxing rather than wild and although we were disappointed with not going to the theme park it wouldn't have been good fun waiting for hours in queues for 30 second rides with thousands of kids.

Dr Hero believes the elusive Mixophyes iteratus - or giant barred frog - may inhabit the Springbrook National Park which lies not far away from where a population of this species was discovered at Binna Burra just two years ago.
"Changes to water flow and quality in the Springbrook catchment area, in particular, are likely to have a major impact on the frog populations," he said.
Populations of rare frog species are continuing to decline in World Heritage-listed rainforests in the south-east corner of the State, researchers from Queensland's Griffith University have found.
