Brisbane again..

Farewell to Gold Coast
This is a top pick! Monday, Emma and I step into liquid for the day at Wet'n'Wild, one of the amusement parks that nestle up against the highway. In a part of the world where temperatures get into the 40s without too much coaxing, a waterpark with rivers of gold or ...
The long drive home
This is a top pick! ... and cross roads. We had seen enough Kangaroo road kill and we did not have Kangaroo bars on Homer. Side note - driving through Australia is definately an experience. There's not much traffic and a lot of the time the scenery does not change - hence a ...

Killing Time in Brisvegas
This is a top pick! ... very little, pure money saving mode. I had very little response from the emails I sent out the other day so decided to get out of Brisbane and try my luck in Cairns. The LP states there is "tourism" and "fishing trawlers" work at this time of year, so ...

Brisbane - More Lazy Days

Australia - Brisbane
This is a top pick! ... stayed for 4 nights - we paid up. Bags dumped in the room, we settled down to trawl through all the magazines and brochures for Brisbane to discover what there was to do and how we were going to spend the next few days. After a good hour of this ...
Alarms, Punks, and Jaz Oh My!
This is a top pick! ... ozzie friends they had met online. They were really nice guys, dressed a little differently than I was used to, but hey, I'm in Australia and clothes are different here. We start out at this funky bar with a big fan in the middle of it. Comfy ...

This is a top pick! ... apply before the February 22nd deadline. "The competition has served the purpose of getting people around the world interested in Australia, but for the thousands of us who lost out just because of a technical error, this has been truly ...
We are all moist & damp!!
This is a top pick! ... - although I'm not sure Lorna agreed with that! We left the park about 4ish as we had to get back to the other side of Brisbane before 6pm to get in our van park. We are stopping at Newmarket Gardens Caravan Park. It's only 4km from the city centre ...

Brisbane
This is a top pick! Alex: As always in cities we didn't do very much in Brisbane! Our first night there we made full use of the hostel bar and were a bit to hung over the following day to do very much. Instead, after the obligatory hangover breakfast of instant noodles, we ...
