Strax soder om Brisbane ligger guldkusten, paradis for surfare och semesterfirare. Vi taltar pa en campingplats i Main Beach och tar helt enkelt semester ett tag. Vi promenerar langs stranden, solar (las skuggar) och badar i jattevagorna. Vi gor aven utflykter till temaparker i omradet. "Wet'n'Wild", ar ett stort vattenleksomrade med flera olika sorters vattenrutchbanor av olika laskighetsgrad. Jattekul. Pa "Seaworld" har de delfinshow, salshow, vattenskidshow och lite andra roliga djur. Vi ser bla sma bla pingviner och dugonger. Pa "Dreamworld" tittar vi pa andra djur, koalor, dingor, krokodiler, ormar, skoldpaddor, papegojor, emuer, tigrar och klappar kangurur. Dit akte vi dock mest for att aka bergochdalbana och liknande. Ocksa ruskigt roligt. Linnea passar pa att bli forkyld och maste vila nagra dagar i skuggan ovanfor stranden och lasa bocker och titta pa papegojor i traden. Faktis ... read more

Hello! After Byron Bay, we all headed up to surfers paradise but planned on only staying there for a few nights. There wasnt too much to do apart from the beach (gold coast) and the night life. It reminded us all of a european magaluf type resort as it was very built up with hotels, bars, resteraunts etc. The first night we were there we all went on a hostel bar crawl which was a good laugh. It was a great night and it even resulted in a bit of random karaoke with a busker!! The next day 4 of us decided we wanted to hire some mopeds so we could take a look at the city a little more. We ended up with a 2 litre turbo toyota celica convertible! It was alot of fun ... read more

Hi all. It's Tuesday the 14th today. I'll fill you in on what's happended since we got here. ON Sunday we found a hostel called "Backpackers Paradise"...hardly true. It was $29/night, apartment style which means that it includes a kitchen and bathroom in the apartment. thats pretty expensive considering you have to pay to use the appliances and cutlery, plates etc. but we booked it for 2 nights anyway so that we could have a place to sleep and give us a chance to find another place to stay. our room mates were a couple from switzerland, thomas and sibil, and dave from sydney which shared a bunk with hailey in our room. it's so weird always being around ppl you don't know, and really hard to leave your stuff in the room when we are ... read more
