The further back I go for these Flashback Fridays, the worse my memory gets! That’s partly why I started this blog in the first place, to keep a record of where I go so I can look back later for a trip down memory lane. I’m just grateful for photos! This trip to Brisbane took place in July, 2011. We were supposed to catch a plane there with Tiger Airways, but on the day we were supposed to fly, we were told that Tiger Airways had cancelled all their flights until further notice! We ended up driving to Brisbane instead and, to be honest, I prefer road trips to plane flights anyway. It’s nice to make the journey part of the holiday, too.
Brisbane is a lovely city and it’s great for hippy and bohemian culture! The locals are very laid back and friendly, too, so the whole pace of the city is slightly slower and more relaxed. That’s one of the reasons why I loved it there ❤
Some highlights of the trip include the Buddhist temple we found, as well as a statue of Confucius, the view from the summit of Mt Coot-tha, the Botanical Gardens, the man-made beach in the middle of the CBD and, of course, Wet ‘n’ Wild! The Gold Coast is famous for its water parks, as well as its beaches, so if you want the ideal summer getaway, Brisbane and the Gold Coast are perfect for you ❤
