We’ve arrived in the sunshine state of Queensland which is my favourite area of Australia. Brisbane or Brizzie as it’s popularly named has a subtropical climate which is ideal for an outdoor lifestyle. In and around Brisbane city you’ll find a wide variety of activities to keep you entertained. From restaurants and cafes to shopping arcades, fun parks, white sand beaches and lush rainforests. The Gold coast to the south has the famous Surfers Paradise beach resort, whilst to the north is the Sunshine coast, which is my personal favourite area. One of the greatest natural wonders of the world, the Great Barrier Reef, lies to the east of the coast. More about that when we arrive in Cairns. 
We had our ‘almost annual’ gathering of the clan! My uncle and aunt emigrated in the 60s and we try to catch up as often as possible. We had lunch in Café 21 in the Casino and before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye.
Back on board, we were entertained in the evening by an American comedian who used to write for the Cosby Show and at midnight (yes we stayed up that late) we celebrated one of our table buddy’s birthday.
Happy birthday Paul!
