33 degrees today so it was very hot and sticky. We spent the morning swimming at South Bank, its so nice there and excellent that its all free. After lunch it was just too hot to walk anymore so we just spent the afternoon at the hostel. At around 7pm we walked down to Southbank as every Wednesday they put a film on, this week was Pirates of the Caribbean. It was really good although could have done with a chair as it was a long time to be sat on grass.

Well we've been here a week now and its gone so quickly, really like it here but i can imagine that if the weather wasn't so good we would be bored. Went for a walk around the botanic gardens today, quite nice but not as nice as Sydneys. Also there are a lot of markets on everywhere today so we stopped and had a look around all of those.

Well we didn't expect the weather to be this good when we got to Brisbane, it's been in the thirties all week. For the past few days we have been spending most of our time at Southbank, they have a fake beach there and its really really nice. The only annoying thing is all the kids are on their holidays but we are hoping they go back on Monday so we can actually go in the water without being harrassed by kids. Hostel is really nice but in a bit of a noisy area...

It started out fairly cloudy this morning but didn't take long to clear. Caught the bus at 8am, 1st stop was at Glen Wildlife Santuary, it was free to get in and we got to see lots of Koalas and feed the kangaroos, emus and deers, we even got to see a wombat finally! Arrived in Brisbane at 11.30 and caught the train to our hostel, we are a little way out of town but the hostel is so cheap we aren't complaining. This afternoon we walked around quite a lot just ...

Headed for the beach this morning as the temp is supposed to be up to 30 degress. Very busy on the beach as its the school holidays. After lunch went for a walk along Mooloolaba Wharf and walked up a tower that gave some nice views of the town. We walked around the shopping centre then sat on the beach and watched the surfers.
