Got up around 10am today, got dressed etc, and packed our bags up. Got a bus into Surfers Paradise and had a look around for a while trying to find somewhere for lunch with BYO, but ended up heading back to Broadbeach and going to Lola’s (the café we went to on the first day in Surfers) then jumped back on a bus into Surfers. Then we walked around for a while, and looked at a few shops, went to a bar for a couple of drinks before we headed to the Q1 Re...

Woke up this morning around 9am, got ready and walked to the bus stop, and went in to Wet’n’Wild Water World. Looked around for a bit first, then went on a few rides. First one was Mammoth Falls (which you sat in a massive round raft, to go down) then Super 8 Aqua Racer (8 people go down at once, head first, lying on a rubber mat), Twister (two enclosed waterslides that twisted around each other), River Rapids (one enclosed and one open waterslide, th...

When we got to Byron Bay, we first went to the lighthouse and had a lookout at the easternmost point of the Australian mainland! Saw some dol...

Woke up had a fruit platter, toast and juice on the deck for breakfast, and headed to the bus stop and went out to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. Had a look at some lizards and there were a couple of wild ones that started fighting each other! Then we jumped on the train which took us out to the Free Flight Show, which was amazing. They brought out owls and eagles and everything, which flew right over our heads and the wing of an eagle touched my head. Then we wen...
