After leaving Byron, we were also leaving New South Wales and entering Queensland. Queensland is famous for crocodiles and other scary things like that! It is also known as the sunshine state so not all bad!
Surfers Paradise - to those who have not been there you would expect what we expected - a sweet little surf town much like Byron - wrong! As we approched we thought we had taken the wrong turn and got to Brisbane. Its all high rise buildings and really is a city - there is nothing that screams paradise, although the beaches are lovely and we did see some more whales! We spent the day here and although we are glad we saw it - it was more than enough time!
The Gold Coast is Australias Florida - its all about the theme parks. We resticted ourselves to one park and Sam chose Wet n Wild the water park! Emma agreed but was very concerned that as she is about to be a bridesmaid (wearing a strapless dress) that it was ESSENTIAL that she buy a strapless bikini so she didnt get funny tan lines for the wedding photos!!! So she spent the first day dragging Sam around swim wear shops (and obviously in the end bought the first one she had seen!) It was worth it - we had a really fun day at the park and Sam ran between the rides dragging Emma behind. Emma did not have to worry about funny tan lines - we were both happy. The happiness was short lived as Emma got an eye infection and had to go to the doctor!
After a fun filled 2 days we were haeding to Brisbane!
