Watermark Brisbane

This was our last day in Brisbane, and we spent time in the morning walking along the Brisbane riverbank, beautiful with the Jacaranda trees in bloom. Sat admiring the scene while making some farewell phone calls. <br><br>Visited a store called Bunnings, which is like our B&amp;Q to buy wood and metal bars so that Hughie could design a shelf for the plants on Doreen's balcony. The staff at Bunnings were ultra helpful ...

Our final destination before flying back to Sydney. Brisbane is a very modern city that is increasing in size all the time. It had a nice relaxed feel. We drove around taking in some of the sights. The botanical gardens were very nice and a good way to kill some time before our rendezvous with Elliots brother Ollie. He was kind enough to put us up for a couple of nights before our flight out on Friday, he lives in a beautiful part of town called Balmoral which has ...

We spent 3 night in Brisbane as our last stop in Australia. The trip has gone too fast! Fiji here we come. The first night we partied in the hostel with a bunch of 20 year olds. They played guitar and sang until 3 am. Then, it turned to wrestling (we just listened to wrestling from our room). We toured the XXXX brewery. The brewery had automated robots telling the story of the brewery. They were really ...

Brisbane Farewell Chilling with great company, great food, great drinks = great time. Of course how can we not forget the most important addition ... Wii!!! Rayman Rabbids TV Party. Quite simple the best game EVER!!! A big thank you to my parents for hosting the place, and also for the awesome food. We still don't know the secret ingredient of the bolognase! Also thank you to everyone who came. Was great to catchup prior to just running away. You will all be missed.

... a massive woman, it was heaven in a glass my friend.<br><br>So next stop, Singapore!!! We are really looking forwards to Asia which will be so different to anywhere on our travels so far - and also be far more wallet friendly, which is much needed. However, we have just had an absolutely fantastic two months in Australia and I think it has surpassed both of our expectations. Although I had a few moans along the way ...

... take off - Barb is ecstatic - Things are looking up..<br><br>Problem 6: Auckland customs. After a fantastic flight we arrive in Auckland. Waiting at the baggage carousal for our luggage, a Customs sniffer dog comes by and sits down next to me. I have seen enough 'Border Security' shows to know this is not good - Has he smelt the Diamond Ring I wonder to myself.. Sure enough within a few seconds a customs officer comes by and starts interogatting me ...

We got the bus from Agnes Water down to Brisbane. I only booked it from the middle of nowhere stop Fingerboard Road and planned to save a few dollars paying Macca to take us there in his bus as he swings by all the hostels every day regardless. The Greyhound left Fingerboard Road at 9.20 and at 8.40 we were still sitting outside the hostel waiting for Macca to turn up. We were really starting to panic, he was 20 mins late and we had alreay ...
