Our June-July holiday 2012

We had a nice time at Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast) on the Eastern side of Australia for 8-9 days but when we came back to South Australia we all caught colds due to going from wintery weather to warm weather and back to wintery weather. Am happy to report that all colds are gone now though but unfortunately it is still Winter here for one more month. It was great catching up with old friends and new friends while up there. Just wanted to share a few photos with you all.

                                           This is the Hotel pool, spa and bbq area.

                                               Poolside at night.. Isnt it beautiful?

Tanyia and I did a 4km walk with Jaxon in the pram while her hubby Steve took the teens and younger kids back to the holiday apartment where they were staying. We walked from out hotel at Surfers to their apartment at Broadbeach. Below are some photos I took on the walk! By the way we power walked on a jogging-cycling chat off the sand and only went down on the beach to take these photo's..

We went 77 stories high to the observation deck of the Q1 building. The lift (elevator) ride is less than 43 seconds from bottom to the top. Some people actually pay a couple of hundred dollars to climb around steps on the top half of this building like climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Aghhh no thanks! Ty was nervous enough looking once we got up to the observation deck. I was more nervous standing out on the balcony of our hotel room on the 17th floor as that is outside!

Another day we went on a tour of both land and the water to check out the mansions on the harbour and Nara Seaworld on the Super Duck. Saw Elle McPhersons house that she bought & now her parents use it as their holiday home and a mansion that belonged to Jackie Chan for a few years. He must of been here making a movie or whatever but when he sold it three to four years later he made a nice profit.

                                One millionaires home came complete with a helicopter

                                                       Lots of expensive yachts

Master 15 had a go at formula 1 driving in a simulator. The guy let him drive longer than he was supposed to. God help me when he turns 16 in 6-7 months time & he gets his drivers license... hehe...

We ate out alot at places like Hogs Breath Cafe and Hard Rock Cafe. There are plenty more photos to post of us with out friends but without friends permission I wont post any of them unless I have their permission at a later date....
                OVER AND OUT FOR NOW.....
