Well our short stay in Brisbane is almost over. We didn't arrive here until late enough on Saturday, because buses were either cancelled or delayed due to floods in Sydney. So when we eventually got here, we checked into our hostel and then went to their pub. Like any decent backpacker pub, they have good food and drink deals, so we stayed here for a few hours. Then
the girls came into meet us. The girls being Raedin, Eilish and Ella. I lived with Eilish and Raedin in college, and Ella was their friend from their course. They've been in Brisbane 3 weeks now, and plan on traveling and working in Oz for about a year. So it was great to see them again, and even better cuz they knew the good spots to go out in :) So we headed over to Fortitude Valley which is like pub central. Literally it's just full of pub after pub. We also came across a pub called the Elephant and Wheelbarrow (Like our favourite pub back in St Kilda) so naturally had to go in here for a few. Anyway a good night had by all, with just a few sociable drinks ;-)
Next day was hangover day. We just lazed around all day and then eventually got up to go to the cinema. We also got to meet up with the girls again and catch up.
Today we got to walk around the city. We walked across the bridge and saw the man-made beach over there. It was tiny, I really expected something alot bigger I must say. We're going to meet the girls again tonight for the last time, for food and some drinks, but nothing too crazy since we're up early tomorrow.
Early tomorrow myself and Marie are catching a bus up to Australia Zoo, aka Steve Irwin zoo. And afterwards we'll meet Emma on the bus up to Noosa, where we'll spend one night before heading up to Rainbow Beach and Fraser Island. We leave Gillian now too for 2 weeks, as she's done the coast before. So she'll go over to Alice Springs for a few days, and we'll meet her again in Cairns.
