Brisbane from bridge
Brisbane - our first stop in Oz.
Our flight from Thailand took approximately 9 hours.  However it was not all easy going, we had to change at Melbourne to then fly back up to Brisbane.  Aly & I are both smokers and it was a real disaster for us when after 9hrs flying we arrived at Melbourne airport only to find that we couldnt have a ciggarette because the entire airport is non-smoking and we were still in transit so were not allowed to leave.  A couple of hours later we arrived at Brisbane and once we had got through customs we ran outside and filled our lungs.

Brisbane was a lovely, clean city.  However, I can not give you a lot of information on it as we used it mainly for shopping for prezzies to bring home.  For information on what to do in Brisbane see : www.oztravel.com.au

From Brisbane we travelled south  to a town near Surfers Paradise (southport) to stay with a friend, Catherine, who kindly put us up for a few days and was our tour guide to the area. Unfortunately we lost our camera during our time there and have no photos from Southport or Surfers Paradise.
