Heres a brief travelogue of our recent Brisbane excursion.
We flew out of freezing cold Wellington on Thursday night, and landed in
Brisbane just after 12am friday morning. It may have been the middle of the
night but it was still 4 degrees warmer than the high in Wellington.
We caught a taxi to our hotel, the Astor Metropole, which was right in
downtown brisbane. Once we had checked in, we piled into bed and slept till
about 9 the next morning.
We then wandered down through the town to pick up our rental car and headed
out to the burbs to go shopping at IKEA. After that we parked the car back
at the hotel and checked out the malls. Lots of good shopping to be had in
Brisbane and with the NZ dollar nice and strong, lots of bargains as well.
Saturday we headed north up the sunshine coast to check out Australia Zoo.
Tons of fun, it was Bindi’s 6th birthday which meant that Steve Irwin the
crocodile hunter himself was there. CRIKEY!!!!
Sunday we spent the day at Dreamworld and the evening at the final big
brother eviction. Fun, if slightly mad.
Lots of photos
