Days 87 & 88: SeaWorld Our week on the Gold Coast has proved to be both very exciting and very tiring. I'm kind of glad we are leaving tomorrow and relocating to a less inhabited area. We have enjoyed ourselves over the past two days at SeaWorld. Yesterday we spent the majority of the day watching all the shows. The kids got their photos taken with some of the stars. Ethan and Brandon with Friday the Seal and Micaela with a dolphin (can't remember it's ...

Days 85 and 86: Friends and Family What a great weekend we have had catching up with friends and family that we haven't seen for ages. Yesterday, being Saturday, we had the pleasure of being to invited to Brett and Michelle's for lunch (which then also turned into dinner). Brett and Darren became friends when Brett's family camped at East Beach for Christmas holidays. We tracked Brett down about 15 years ago and we have remained in contact since. Obviously d...

There was no separation of queues and due to the fact we needed to get our photo taken for the pass, the queue too...

Days 81&82: Brisbane to Gold Coast Mother Nature is being so very kind to us on this trip, and I hope I don't jinx us by saying so. We have had very little rain for the past 82 days with only a little falling whilst we were in Adelaide, we got drenched in the Daintree and we broke the drought for them in Brisbane. But even then it only rained in the evening. As planned, we spent Tuesday catching up with Christian and met his beautiful little girl Elka. C...
