Good Morning Brisbane

Arriving in Brisbane was a real treat, meeting up with Arden again and Vicky flying up from Bondi for the weekend. Arden was busy working so Vicky and I set off to explore the South Bank of the city in the morning before it got crowded, this ended up in some great photos!



The high rises in the background made for a beautiful sunrise along with a morning coffee. 


Much like the London Eye (but half the size) any large ferris wheel is quite easy to pick up from a distance. 



Brisbane is not actually on the Australia east coast, it's about an hour away so they decided they needed to make some kind of beach. The above photo is the man made Brisbane Beach, which is just a pool that has a lot of sand in it and no fish. As you can see beach spaces is very limited so you get nice and cozy with your tanning buddies! 


It was beautiful and made me really look forward to spending a week or so there. 

Wet & Wild Waterpark

On our last day in Surfers Paradise we went to Wet & Wild Waterpark which was very fun and it was a nice day which we were very thankful for! We spent the morning there, going down all the rides, I was mostly screaming. 

Especially on this particular ride where you stand at the top platform and the floor drops and you go flying down and flip upside down. 


All in all a great day at the waterpark!
