In February, Janet and I cashed in our frequent flyer points for 2 return first class tickets to Brisbane/Gold Coast.
We flew to Brisbane airport, hired a car and drove down to the Gold Coast to our resort, Mariner Shores Beach Resort, where we stayed for a week. While here we visited Warner Bros Movie World.
Also walked around the South Bank Parklands (on the old EXPO site) in Brisbane as well as the city and chinatown. We also drove up to Noosa and stopped off at the Big Pineapple as well as the Ettamogah Pub.
The week after, we drove down to Coolangatta and stayed at The Beach House. While here we visited Avocado Land, Pioneer Plantation, Jupiters Casino, the Purlingbrook Falls as well as the NSW/QLD border.
Also visited a lot of the shopping centres - did a lot of shopping.
