Queensland, Brisbane. Arrived to scorching temperatures and a fantastic storm!! Soaked through to the skin within seconds of stepping outside! Awesome what a welcome! We travelled upto Brisbane from Melbourne by Plane, for comfort not price!! Stepping out of the airport was like steppinginto a giant oven!
