Brisbane was lovely. I took complete time out staying with Emma, after a very busy week in Melbourne I was zonked and ready for a rest (traveling is such hard work!!) So spent a couple of days just doing nothing which was fab, recharging the batteries. Em was sick bt had to go to work (poor girl) so Frankie (another friend of Ems who was staying...

I'm setting up an itinerary on Excel so I can keep track of what I already have booked, what I need to book, the expected cost, my daily budget and a list of sights, shops, theme parks, restaurants, zoos, museums, galleries and anything else I want to see while I'm there. I have a budget of $100 per day, not including accommodation or rental car...

Hello! Spent a few days in Brisbane and had a really cool time! I wasnt planning on spending much time here but because of my camera had to stay for 5 days. I had a great time though! Went to Steve Irwin's zoo (Australia Zoo) which was amazing! My friend Roisin took lots of photos so should have them up on here soon! I also spent a day on the So...

I am now officially willing to move here. We arrived in Brisbane last night, and it has been one amazing thing after another. The beaches are beyond stunning, I just keeping repeating "It's so beautiful!" We left Mackay on Thursday, we rented a car and drove down here. I'm glad we chose to do that as then I was able to see a lot along the way. W...

Lonely Planet entry - "What began as a surfing haven in the 1960's became one of Australia's most exclusive resorts and a major "foodies'" mecca from the 1990s onwards. Media stars, glammed-up fashionistas, the moneyed and well heeled now intermingle with board-shorted surfers among the restaurants and shops of Noosa's Hastings St." As we drove ...

Friday 02/12/05: Hervey Bay to Brisbane: Plans to go to Noosa changed at last minute as the heavy storms flooded Noosa, so came straight to Brisbane, managed to get a room in a flat which means no hostel for a week or so! - nice! Didnt get down til about 9pm and walked up to Spring Hill through Roma Street Parklands, only took 15 mins and just c...

Marvin and I spent one day by walking over the Story Bridge and around the walk by the river to the city. We visited St. John's Anglican Church where we saw each bench seat had beautifully done needle point cushions. We then walked to the Roma St Park. This park had beautiful flowers.

So flew back from Darwin to Brisbane and have been staying with my mate Anthony in Ormiston. Had a couple of day lounging around resting from my arduous trip. On the Friday we went to see The Black Eyed Peas, not heard much of their music but it was a decent concert all the same. On the Saturday we to the ferry over to Moreton Island of the coas...

Monday 04/07/05: Job hunt starts today, got some agency numbers from Bunk and called them in the morning. Paul went off to do some sightseeing for the day as he's off to Byron Bay tomorrow. Didn't get very far with the agencies, doesn't look like there's much around for such a short timescale. Gotta send in the CV to a couple of them and see wha...

not a lot to do in Brisbane! Met up with with Jordi's mate James, the guy drinks really quickly! Met up with him for a few on Friday night, then watched the reds beat the Sharks on sat night which was fun, just got back from a night in the valley in Brisbane, good area though pretty expensive!
