Brisbane Weekend

On the weekend I travelled down from Townsville to have a weekend of R & R with Tarsh who skipped across the Tasman to meet me Thursday night. Between a fast flight from New Zealand and the Drivers scheduled arrival time, Tarsh missed the pickup and caught a taxi to meet me at the airport. Our Driver, Gavin caught up with us at the Domestic and we proceeded to the city from there. After we checked into the hotel, we headed to the Eagle St waterfront and had a relaxing beer or three. On Friday Tarsh and I headed to Dreamworld, via a drop off from Gavin again. Dreamworld was awesome ! We spent the whole day walking around, patting kangaroos, feeding animals, watching shows and going on the adrenaline packed rides....sorry that was just me, Tarsh watched from the safety of the ground. Friday night we went out to dinner on the waterfront in Brisbane, a great night with great food. Saturday Gavin picked us up and we headed for the Goldcoast to have a look around and a swim, Saturday night we got back to Brisbane just in time to catch the super 14 semi final. Sunday was a lazy day of checking out of the hotel and heading up to Mount Coot-tha for a great view over Brisbane before heading for some lunch with one of my other WA mates, Robbie. In all a great weekend was had, many thanks to Gavin for his kind and hilarous driving in and around Brisbane, Tarsh and I had a great time. Cheers...
