Family

Been a bit quiet recently because my parents have been out to visit from the UK. It's always good when people copme to stay because you get to see the same old sites with fresh eyes.

We toured Brisbane on the the city cycles

Checked out some of the wildlife in the local fishponds

Visited the rainforest at Mt Tamborine

including its slightly unnerving 'Skywalk'

Took a trip out to Tangalooma, a resort on Moreton Island where you can feed wild dolphins,

go on boat tours,

snorkel the wrecks (not the remains of previous boat tours, but deliberately sunk to provide calmer water for boats to moor)

or just hang out, enjoy the sunsets & meet the locals
(this is a highly poisonous lionfish - pic taken in an open-topped aqaurium with a long zoom)

We also took a trip up to the heritage centre in Caboolture, which has over 70 traditional old Queenlsand building preserved for you to wander around

As well as some slightly bizarre collections such as vintage radios

antique chainsaws

and generators

Add visits to the Sunshine Coast, navigationally challenged bushwalks arond Mt Gravatt, various pubs & restaraunts, river cruises, walks and the odd cleansing ale at home and it turned out to be a busy week!

Thanks for coming over guys, and I'll see you again soon.
