Golden Sands Apartments Main Beach

After ringing several caravna parks around surfers paradise finally found an availability and set off on the short drive to Amusement Park Central. Got set up and had a quiet afternoon boys playing on the jumping pillow and various other activities around the park while Denzel slept. Tried to get a few ...

... with students in togas of all types and colors. My standard white toga almost seemed bland! We wandered through the crowd to the back where we met up with some other friends and chatted for a while. I had my first pomegranate flavored Bacardi breezer which came in a classy aluminum can and tasted like sugar water. Unfortunately it cost around $8 which, according to my aussie friends is to deter people from drinking so many of them, which I is probably a good idea. We hit ...

Today, we got up late (we went out dancing the night before and stayed out quite late...we needed the rest) and wandered around the city a bit. We layed out on the warm, sunny beach, something I haven't done in months, and watched the amazing surfers take to the air on the massive waves. My fading tan came back a bit, but I must say the weather in Perth lately has been freezing (as in 50-60 degrees F, so freezing by Aussie standards) so my tan is pretty much gone. Too bad, I was quite ...

This morning we woke up extra early to get ready to go to Wet and Wild! Looking out the window, the weather was absolutley perfect, we had picked a fantastic day to go. Celeste and I got ready and then headed up to no 11 to pack the bags and help get everyone else ready to go. We stopped off at number 7 before we left so Celeste and I could grab the rest of our stuff and also so we could pick up Kodi who was going to be joining us for the day. We had to sneak ...

... The fireworks were all but cancelled so we decided to have a low-key celebration at home. There wasn't even any coverage of the Brisbane festivities either - Nope, nothing this year but a couple of guys in rain coats setting off their own version of pyrotechnics, to whatever happened to be playing on the radio. A very quiet New Years for us, of watching the Sydney celebrations, quite enviously, on TV and wishing that we were in there ...

Yesterday we went to surfers paradise about an hour down the road. Looked like a really lively place to be and it's a shame we did not have time to stay there as Brisbane is pretty rubbish. There seemed to be loads of bars and clubs in Surfers paradise all ...

... huge learners surfboards and head down onto the beach where we try out the moves Jame-O showed us earlier. He then puts us through several drills of paddling and popping up onto the board, all the while locals come past to tell Jame-O how good the water is today. It's a beautiful, sunny morning and the water is around 24 degrees which will be beautiful. Jame-O tells us we couldn't have picked a better day as the weather is great and there are some nice ...

... beach... only to see 2 children screaming and running out of the water red raw...yes there are Jelly fish here too. Heading back to Brisbane for a few days, then to Ayers Rock and after, we hope there are no jelly fish in Perth, so we can swim in the sea. Fingers crossed and we'll keep you posted :-) --------------------------------------- --------------------- --------------------------------- Nous ...

... drinking in the hostel and mostly in the room with a dutch guy called Michelle(can't help a little chuckle everytime I say his name), an Irish lad called Dermot, Dave the rave and a german girl called Larna. Nothing happened worth mentioning and ended up in bed in the early hours. I grabbed a fry up early Staurday morning and made my way up to Peterpans for another day of work. We watched a couple of films and had a really easy day as we had ...

... they make it to the end zone. they go by tackles rather than downs and also do extra point kicks. was kind of easy to follow but i'm still learning...all i know is these guys have legs as big as my body and are extremely rough...and play with no pads...they're crazy! so that was the weekend and now onto my last week of classes. yup, you heard me right...while all of you are on summer break i JUST finished classes. hard to believe yet also hard to believe i'm almost out of here ...
