A friend of mine is telling me her plan for vacation next year. Currently she is saving enough money to go to Australia specifically to Gold Coast. Although I’m not really into theme parks and beaches, I’m sure for those who love to be on the thrilling rides and unique animal attractions, you will enjoy the visit to Dreamworld, the Australia’s favourite theme park.
And to be save make sure you have reserved your place for Gold Coast accommodation as December is summer and Christmas season as well as the start of school holiday in the sunny Queensland. You might want to go there in early December to avoid frustration and long queue at the theme parks..heh! Of course when you are in the Gold Coast there are Crystal Castle, Sea World and Warner Bros, Movie World for you to visit as well.
Next, from Gold Coast we head to Brisbane as it is only a one hour drive. What I wouldn’t miss to visit in Brisbane after finding a place to stay, (any hotels in Brisbane will do as long as it fits my budget) will be to see koala at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. I’m not sure whether I am brave enough to hold a koala or feed a kangaroo, but seeing the real animals would do..hehe!
Then if I get Brisbane accommodation in the area of its CBD, I will spend some time to go to the City Botanic Gardens, which is an easy walk from the busy CBD and to The Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mt Coot-tha. From what I read in the Internet, the City Botanic Gardens are Brisbane’s oldest park, originally planted by convicts in 1825 with food crops to feed the prison colony.
In the meantime since my friend will be going there first, I am looking forward to hear about her Queensland’s experience before I get to savour mine.
