I spent my saturday morning on Bribie Island with Christine. She picked me up at the Oaks this morning at around 6:45 and the drive out was fairly nice. They had blessing of the surf ceremony and the lifeguards had some sort of compitiion. I had a lovely walk up and down the beach while Christine went to visit a friend. After the walk I sat and watched this really strange Ukulele band. Christine and myself met up at The Surf Club and had a lovely lunch. I had a drink I have never had a Pear Cider and a Fishermans Lunch.... read more

Bribie Island

Sepulchre

Here's a revelation: having a car is very useful in actually seeing stuff in Australia. Since my time in Brisbane I've been wanting to visit Lamington National Park; a paradise of waterfalls, wildlife and trails only an hour's drive away from from Brisbane. But since I don't have a car and the one person I know that does works weekends, I've had to accept that I shall never see it. I've therefore had to make do with visiting places that are reached by public transport instead. Surfers Paradise (yes, an actual place on the Gold Coast) despite the long sandy beach and gleaming high-rises is a remarkably dull place. A pedestrianised town centre and sort of Costa Del -less) feel to it - it's not Nice or nice. the weekend we visited had the V8 races ... read more
