Leaving Brisbane!

So thats us away from Brisbane, we hired a Toyota Yaris for a week and headed up towards Bowen were we met Carol who was a great host and lives in a beatiful place called Rose Bay in Bowen.

Before we left we needed to get a good last view of Brisbane so we went up to Mt Coot Tha to get some nice photos and then we went in the direction of Rainbow Beach

Motorshow!

I (Niall) was delighted to learn that the Brisbane motorshow was being held in the convention center just across the street from us, so i had to drag Zara there just to see here jumping around as soon as she saw the toyota stand:

She could already see herself driving around in the brand new Rav 4!

But i also found the car of my dreams :-)

Weekend with John!

John and Robyn always made us feel very welcome, lovely barbies and not to forget Johns great home brew :-) and we had a great guided tour around the sunshine coast.

We also had a drive around the coast in the Mits Pajero, that john lent us for the day.

A good view of Moloolaba and Maroochydore.

Weekend in the Getz

We hired a Hyundi Getz for the weekend and on Saturday we headed up to Mount Mee (north of Brissy) and visited Brisbane Forest and Fresh Water Sanctuary, and a Deer farm on the way, some beautiful scenery and it was suprisingly green in places.

On Sunday we headed south of Brissey and went through Beenleigh Historical Village on the way to Mount Tamborine one of the wine making areas where we did a forest walk and a couple of wine tastings!!
