Fourex is better than VB
Weve left it a while to do an update so theres quite a bit to report.
While we were still in Brisbane we went to see Cobra starship and the Academy is, and bar a few sound issues they were surprisingly watchable so that was quite a cool night. We also saw Miss Siagon whilst we were there which was really good, but not a classic, and a tad depressing in parts.
On our way out of Brisbane we were lucky enough to have Forest as our driver again ( the one we had for Kroombit) so that made the drive fly by far too quickly for our liking.
After that we spent 4 days in surfers paradise. We had a wander around and a look at the sights, and on Monday we went to Dream world theme park. Its quite a bit smaller than Alton Towers but there were enough rides to scare us quite alot, especially tower of terror which broke whilst we were on it and we got wound back in and heard the really comforting words “Something went wrong but we will try again and it will probably be ok this time” While we were there we also got the see the tiger demonstration (which includes the most adorable baby cubs in the world) and the cougar demonstration (the only down side to the day was getting back to late to watch neighbours :P)
This morning we had lots of time to kill before we hopped back on the oz bus to Byron, so we though we would check out the wax museaum. I have never been more dissapointed and angry at a tour guide in my life. She knew nothing you couldnt learn in 20mins at Gallaries of justice, didnt tell us anything we didnt already know, and lots of her facts were obviously wrong or suspect. (she was talking about “some university in London” and when I asked her which one, she just said ” oh i think it teaches science or something”) She was also extreamly anti european and had a silly voice, and the guide who took over half way through was worse!
We are now in a nice little hostel in Byron that has free bike rental so tomorrow I think we plan to cycle to the light house that marks the most Easterly point of Australia, which is nice.
Despite inept tour guides we are still having a really great time and meeting lots of nice people. Another blog will follow soon with our exploits in Byron
You miss us

Congrats Steff on the results - and on going to the best city in the UK - we’ll have you talking like a scouser sooner or later. I’m happy to be employed as your interpreter and teacher of the appropriate vowel sounds.
Great to catch up on your blog - after our exile in west wales (as far as you can go - ‘next stop across the Atlantic is South America’. We’ve had a great time with Matt and Hodgo, despite the slightly dodgy weather (though I’m officially rubbish at quadbikes!). Rach - I’ve ordered all the books you needed for Edge Hill (HOW MUCH?!). Edge Hill also sent through loads of info about Welcome Week etc. Lots of love Mum
