Brisbane Trip - MovieWorld (Gold Coast)

We skip the trip to DreamWorld as my wife does not like too exciting coaster ride and we ended up going to MovieWorld instead. In the end, she really enjoy herself in the cartoon world and myself, found couple ride that's really gives some excitement but not too scary for family ride.


Tweety Bird has grown. :P


Sorry kids, we're going to steal your ride.


Dance performance. Not to be missed. Sorry on the flare in the photos.


Not for the fainted heart.


My favorite photo on the cat women, hopping on her whip.

Brisbane trip - Tamborine and O'Reilly

My wife likes to go natural trip or jungle tracking. So, we booked a trip from the information center to Tamborine Town and O'Reilly trip. The package costed about AUD80 and we think it's really worth it (after the trip).

On that day, we have to wake up in early in the morning to Roma Street Train Station because the a coach will pick us up there at 8:45am. There were other tourist as well and that made us around 7 passengers per coach.

The first stop was the Opal shed, where you can find all the opal in different size and color. We were regrouped as people have their own different package, we were join to a the O'Reilly group and headed to Tamborine Town.

The itenery for the whole trip: Tamborine Town, O'Reilly, Alpaca Farm, Wineyard. Check out the photo below.

In O'Reilly, there is tree where you can climb up and it's really high up there.

Brisbane trip - City Hall

This was the day where went back to the beer brewery factory after making the reservation. No photograph is allow in the tour and therefore we only able to take photo outside of the office. The tour last about an hour and then we headed to the city again. We went to the city hall, stopped by couple of churches and finally the River Walk Way.

Brisbane trip - Roma Street Parkland

This day, we planned to go to the Beer factoury tour at Milton. It was a famous Queensland Beer called XXXX or 4X. We went there without reservation and to only find out that the next tour was 2 hours away. Therefore, we skipped the tour and went to Roma Street Parkland. (By the way, our trip so far are travel by train or bus. As you can see, it was easy to get around in the city with their efficient public transport system. Don't forget the offpeak ticket which costs cheaper to get it.)

The parkland is just a cross the street after got down at Roma Street Train Station and it's easy to find it. I got flu that day, so we didn't take much photos and it was starting to rain around 3 p.m. After the short tour, we head home early and took really good afternoon nap (to better prepare for next day plan).


The first thing that took our sight.


No idea what's the flower name but sure looked interesting.


No, those flowers are real.
