Making the most of our second to last day in Brisbane we set off early and went to the Wild Horse scenic lookout and then we headed into Brisbane to go on a riverboat tour, back to the Parklands on Southbank and then into the City, it was definitely long and busy. Click to read more

Today saw us visit two places that we had been to before Edmundi market which runs on a Wednesday and Sunday and also a Botanic garden which had a bord world. We were unsure about both as none of us could remember going before. Mum did say this was the place (bird world) where Grandpa Jim had the silver buttons pecked off his hat, he saw the funny side.

Up and out early for what we had all been waiting for, although we had a season pass from 7 years ago and could remember a little we think, the promise of meeting Kangeroo’s and Koalas up close really was exciting. Click here to read more

Mum and Dad wanted us to have a beach day today, and we weren’t going to turn that down so we set off up the coastal strip that makes up the Sunshine Coast, due to calling in in the first place we stayed in Australia, then lunch and then finally a rain forest experience. (every place had a beach!) Click here to read more

Today was about visiting some scenic views which didn’t sound that exciting, but Mum and Dad had promised us a good play area, a bbq lunch, wild animals, and ice cream so we were all in! Click here to read more

The weather today is totally the opposite of the UK, which we hear is suffering from extreme heat. Not here it’s cloudy and was raining on and off all day. Not to be put off though as we spent the morning in the heated pool and Dad then used the communal BBQ to cook us hot dogs in the rain. Click here to read more

Today was a quiet day as Mum and Dad had to have to finish off some work that had to be in for 9 pm Australian time, but we didn’t mind as they have been with us all the time so far. Click here to read more

Today we made the most of exploring the Kings Beach area. But firstly we had to go and do a full food shop as we were in a new location and apart from a few essentials we had nothing. Click here to read more

Mum was very excited when we landed in Brisbane as she loves Queensland, mainly as the climate is a lot warmer and more like our usual sun holidays. Even though she had had very little sleep as we had to be at the airport at 4 am she was still cheerful but like all of us very tired. Click here to read more

Today is our last day in Melbourne; as we fly out early on Wednesday, so out early today as we have lots to fit in and still packing to do. Click here to read more
