Hey everyone Today was our final day in Brisbane! After waking up and having breakfast Christina when back to bed. She had been feeling really tired later so Alex thought it would be best to let her sleep and he finished a sudoku. Christina then woke up around lunchtime and decided on their last day they should really see some sights. First we went to the City Hall, an impressive building, and went to the small museum, which was actually more like an art gall...

Hey everyone Today we explored Brisbane! We began the day with a long walk to the Culture Centre, home of the main library, art gallery, museum and more. We went to the Brisbane Art Gallery first, but since most of it was closed (due to a huge new exhibition arriving soon) it didn't take very long to look around and it wasn't very inspiring. Next stop was the Queensland Museum, which was much bigger and better. We learnt about the Australian outback, compared o...

We borrowed boogie boards from reception and headed down to the beach. After a lengthy walk down the spit we eventually found the lonesome tree we sat under yesterday and christina soon started reading her book. Alex decided to go bodyboarding for the first time in Australia and had fun getting beaten around by the waves. After o...
