My travelogue.
Gold Coast 24/7/2012 – Part 3
We went to Rainbow Bay for lunch. I’ve never been so close to the sea. This is another hot spot for surfers. Here’s the world famous Snapper Rocks.
After that, we had our lunch at Rainbow Bay Surf Club. Luckily we arrived 10 minutes before the kitchen closed!
Nachos (no idea how much) and Snapper Rocks Hot Seafood Plate (AUD20.50) which consists of beer battered flathead, tempura torpedo prawns, salt and pepper squid with chips, salad, tartare and lemon. Another bowl of sauces is for the nachos.
Left: View from the balcony of the club.
Right: Some decors in the club.
After lunch, we headed down to another beach. We had to walk barefooted.
Goodness! It’s so painful!
Experienced really hard time walking on the rocks.
It’s sharp, uneven, slippery, and wet too.
Finally headed back to the beach, the surfers were still pouring in for an evening surf.
Left: Wheel of Surfers Paradise.
Right: Goodbye Gold Coast!
We went to the airport very early the next morning to catch the flight back to Adelaide.
That’s the end of my Brisbane/Gold Coast trip.
Gold Coast 24/7/2012 – Part 2
We headed to another area for the amazing view of Gold Coast at John Laws Park.
Nice view! Too bad it wasn’t a sunny day.
More surfers!
After that, we headed to another area. I don’t remember the name hahaha…
The four of us on the viewing platform.
After this, we went to Rainbow Bay for lunch. To be continued…
Gold Coast 24/7/2012 – Part 1
Left: We went to Gold Coast the next day.
Right: Seaworld, didn’t go there.
The buildings in Gold Coast are different. Lots of high rise buildings.
We went to Surfers Paradise for a walk.
The wind was so strong that the waves were quite big. Really scary. However, it didn’t stop people from surfing. People surf a lot in Gold Coast!
Some shops in the area.
Left: Just a random view.
Right: There’s actually Meter Maids roaming around. Can you spot the poster? Saw real ones walking around in heels and bikinis wearing Aussie Akubra hat. Very sexy! Such eye candies hahah… Who are they?
Quote from metermaids.com:
The Surfers Paradise Meter Maids were introduced in 1965 to help beat the bad image created by the installation of parking meters on the tourist strip in December 1964. This was a controversial promotion, using young women dressed in gold lame bikinis and tiaras, who strolled the streets of Surfers Paradise feeding coins into expired parking meters. Gone are the outdated tiaras, and lame bikinis replaced by the sun-conscious and true Aussie Akubra hat ideal for our tropical climate and Gold Lycra Bikinis with the occasional sequin. But even after almost 4 decades that special Meter Maid quality still remains…
More to come. Even though I’m done with exam but still busy because I’m enjoying my long-awaited holiday 😉
Royal Adelaide Show 2012
Went to the annual Royal Adelaide Show at the Adelaide Showground just now.
Things were pretty much the same except strangely… Not many people. It was so crowded last year. I guess because it’s a Friday that’s why.
Anyway, took some photos to share.
I’ll just let the photos do the talking. Hehehe… Lazy girl… Since it’s similar, you can click here to read my previous post.
Left: Corn dog when we’re here. Only during this time we will eat this.
Right: Walking pot ;p
Since last year didn’t really have the chance to look at the rides clearly because when we were at this section, it was late at night already.
So here you go…
Some of the rides were much more extreme that what I went on in Gold Coast!
Left: Competition for dogs.
Right: This is the new section if I’m not mistaken, didn’t come across it last year.
However, not much things though. There’s a music light show. I took a video and will upload it soon. It’s rather big, need to compress.
Didn’t see sheeps last year.
We missed the sheep shearing demonstration.
That’s all for the show. So sleepy already. Night!
