Brisbane

 

Pomona Showground - 30/06/13

 

We were on our way to Hervey Bay when the weather start getting worst. As the town has a lot of outside activities to offer we went just for a quick drive/walk around the shore.

 

The lady in the information centre told us the on this day Maryborough town is having a big parade for Mary Poppins so we decided to check this out. The reason why they have this parade is that the author of Mary Poppins, P.L.Travers was born in Maryborough QLD. The funny thing is she left this town when she was 9mths old.

The parade was fun and even the weather was not to bad so we spent some time just walking around the town. We decided to have a wood-fired pizza for lunch and the waiting was so long that Lidia went to get a German sausage as a pre-lunch.

 

 

Carbrook Caravan Park (Brisbane) 01/07/13 - 02/07/13

When we get to Noosa Heads we were lucky cos the sun was out after all night of raining. We went for a nice long walk in the National Park which is by the shore. We didn't spot any dolphins but just plenty of  surfers. 

 

 

After than we drove down on the Sunshine Cost road but unfortunately it was raining and we couldn't enjoy the place as much as we should. We didn't see so much rain in months.

The next morning it was cloudy but no more rain, which was good as we went to explore Brisbane. We thought that it would be easier to get to Brisbane by public transport. It was easier but quite expansive as well, $9.50 pp one way on the bus!! As the bus fare was valid for 2hrs and cover any other public transport we decided to get on the ferry and see Brisbane from the river. It was a quite a pleasant trip. After than we went for a little walk around the town and the famous South Bank, where they have a "London" eye and the town beach.
