Brisbane 8/5/15 Time to catch up with Carmen and Parents at the Gold Coast. Arrived into Brisbane in the afternoon and Carmen had made a reservation at Alchemy Restaurant , Eagle St on the Brisbane River.

There are quite a few short tracks to the coast and Bunda Cliffs was a beautiful spot to view dramatic cliff faces dropping into The Great Australian Bight. We've been trying to consume as much fruit as possible before crossing WA quarantine but sad to say we had to relinquish a ree...
