Been a few days of my Brisbane trip. Not much chance for Internet access. Let me just give a quick summary (no pictures, I am just sending an email to my client and then rushing out to to the beach.)
First 2 days were spent around Kingaroy area, going through the vineyards. Bought 2 crates of wines from various wineries and consuming them in the hotels and will be bringing back some.
Hotel in Kingaroy was so-so, but once we reached Hervey Bay, we checked into a townhouse. It was a 3-storey apartment, with 3 bedrooms, 3 toilets with 1 having a jacuzzi.
First day there was spent on a 4WD bus going around Frasier Island. The largest sand island in the world. The whole island is just sand and amazing rainforest growing on sand. The experience wasn't the best as we spent quite some time in the vehicle and ended the day with sore bums.
Second day was fun ! Took a cruise out for whale watching. So we saw several humpback whales up close and personal (nearest whale surfaced about only 3 meters away from the boat) and dolphins and turtles.
After the cruise we spent the better half of the afternoon driving 400km down to Gold Coast.
So we went to Movie world, the night and weekend markets, the shopping malls and today the beach. Oh what glorious sun and icy cold sea...
Coming up will be Dream world, Sea world and then will be going to Tangalooma for some "touch the dolphins" and will be looking for quad-bike rentals.
Ok. Going to the beach now... Updates later...
