Brisbane 3277 KMeve of 17 - 18 September 2011 Brisbane, almost an unexpected bundle of joy. We arrived around 8pm on Saturday 17 September. Luckly we were able to park right in the city centre with no parking fee because it was the weekend!Whilst exploring we stumbled a square filled with carnival things, with almost an Alice in Wonderland feel.We found out a show was on called "The Dream Menagerie".The ticket man described it to us as; "Bit of a...

Rainbow Beach 2776 KM13 September 2011 Rainbow beach was our kick off point to Fraser Island.We enjoyed the on-beach BBQs here and cooked ourselves and absolute feast before setting off to Fraser.In all there wasn't a lot at Rainbow beach but it certainly had an appeal, with the very local nature and nice shops.
