Hi all, I was only in Brisbane for two days which was a real shame as I would love to have spent more time there and in particular have had time to go to Noosa, the gold coast, surfers paradise and Nimbin!!! In traditional fashion I found an Irish bar (mick O'Malley's) and was also served the best pint of guiness that I have tasted in oz.
