Schools Back.

Brett trying out some romancing!

We have been having a few problems with the broadband stick, so heres and update from earlier in the month!

7th October 2010
School holidays finally end tomorrow! I guess the weekend still counts but we will be in Toowoomba busting moves at Powder Finger so it doesn’t really count.

We have spent the last two nights in NSW and the days surfing in Queensland. Lucky enough, on Tuesday morning Meegan had an encounter with a fella by the name of phil, who gave us some directions to a brilliant little camping spot just inside the NSW border. Coincidently, a few weeks ago we posted an advertisment on Gumtree asking the general public from Noosa down to Byron if we can park up out the front of their houses. The only response we did receive was on from Phil from Brisbane. He lived in an apartment so couldn’t put us up however he did provide us with some advice of where to stay where not to stay. This same Phil jut happened to bump into Meegan as she stopped back at the car to change some headphones that were not working whilst a run. They had a chat and after 20mins he realised he was the one who responded to us a few weeks ago. Of all the surf spots on the gold coast, of all the times in the day, the one off chance Phil drove down from Brisbane for the day for a surf, and there we were parked up in the car park! Small world!

We managed to fit in a surf early most mornings before the crowds became too crazy, the sun was out most days with a little bit of rain here and there.

The first week of no school holidays has come and gone. This week we didn’t manage to do much surfing but we did see Powderfinger in Toowoomba, met up with Borello in Surfers, went to Dream World 3 times and spent too much time in the rain. This October is the wettest October they have EVER had in Queensland, and it was named so, only 10 days into the month! At least Bob is looking pretty clean!

Powder finger in Toowoomba last Saturday night was awesome! The rain cleared up for a few hours for the show the finger played to perfection, the over cast night meant nice comfortable warm weather. The crowd was a little dismal but by half way through we had found a good little group who were happy to jump around and go crazy with us so it up being a really good night!

Raw Carrot cake before we hit dream world for the 10oth time!

The reason we visited Dream world 3 times was because the first time was school holidays so it was very busy, the second time was a little chilly, too chilly to attempt White Water world next door, so the third time was nice and warm and we didn’t have to line up for an hour just to get on a slide! The rides were pretty good, the food was crap and the lines were too long but we still had a great time and our stomaches managed to do a few flips on “The Giant Drop and “The tunnel of Terror”. We spent the last half hour on the flowrider. Brett was pretty good and Meegan basically just enjoyed falling off and being thrown back up to the topof the wave again!





So we have finally, officially left Queensland and are now on our way down to Sydney to fly home for 2 weddings, hens nights, bucks nights, leavers, a few birthdays and of course Christmas!
