Brisbane trip - Noosa Head

Finally, this is the last post for the whole Brisbane trip. We went to Noosa Head after my wife found there are some attraction along the way there.


Scarbough boat harbor. Remember to stop by Morgan Seafood for the fish and chip.


A giant pub even my camera can't fit the size and it's sunny there.


Giant pineapple. One and only one.


Eumundi Market just across the street.


At Noosa Beach. One of my favorite photo.

Brisbane trip - Bayron Bay

We rented a car and our plan was headed to Bayron bay, the most easterly point of Australia. But before that, we went to Honeyworld and Tropical Fruit World, except we didn't enter the farm. Why? Because we need get the ticket and we think the price is rather over our budget. Anyway, we stopped by couple of beaches on our way and in the end, we reached to the Bayron Bay lighthouse.


Honey and bees.


Unable to locate tropical fruit world? Look for the huge green fruit sign.


Bayron bay lighthouse.


My favorite picture of the lighthouse. The dark cloud is just nice as the lighthouse is more standout in the picture.


Have I been to the most easterly point of Australia? Here's the prove.

Brisbane trip - South Bank

South Bank has a park that's worth visiting because it has an artificial beach. There also some event has been held here, which I believe there is a convention center nearby. A circular stage that is also located just nearby the beach, where we found there are people practicing their performance.


There is where we are.


Artificial beach comes with real coconut trees


Walk pass the beach and there is the city.

Brisbane trip - Australia Zoo

For the animal lover, Australia Zoo is where you want to stop by when traveling in Queensland. The entry ticket is rather expensive (It's around AUD50) compare to other animal park. Nevertheless, it does has it's value like the animal show and the place is huge so there are more animal to watch for. Even animal is not your cup of tea, finding out the background about the famous "The Crocodile Hunter", who is one of the icon of Australia, proves to be worth while.


They said the zoo has fierce crocodile and what I saw was this.


Until I saw this.


The brochure in my hand sure attracts it to take photo with me.


It's a fake but the size of the jaw looks incredible.


She is shy and that's the closest it gets.

Brisbane trip - Surfer Paradise (Gold Coast)

I hope we spend more time on Surfer Paradise but that day was bright and hot. Later we end up where women will probably wouldn't missed out, Harbor Town. Somewhere like a factory outlet shop where high quality good sold in normal civilian affordable price. (My wife dragged me there for five times in our whole trip. :P )


The sun is bright and you need sun glasses.


I find that my outfit is improper for the scene.


Souvenir shop. Lots of stuff.


Famous known HardRock Cafe.
