Aussie Fun!

G’day Mates!
It’s been a wonderful 5 weeks on the Gold Coast of Australia - can’t believe there are just over 2 weeks left to go!  We’ve had a little rain so far but nothing that will stop our fun! 
We started off with a little stopover in Sydney with a harbor cruise included, then off to Coolangatta, our home for 7 weeks, where every suite at the Points North resort is a room with a view! 
So far we’ve taken in a visit to the Clarrie Hall dam, Macadamia Castle, a great bush picnic, a trip to Byron Bay and a cruise on the canals of Surfer’s Paradise – and that was just in the first 2 weeks!!  We’ve had our first taste of “snags on the barbi” and lots of delicious Aussie treats and morning tea!  In the last few weeks our days have been full with a tour to Wivenhoe Dam where we had the chance to see some koalas, a feast at the Coolangatta golf course, an Outback Spectacular dinner show, a jaunt to Brisbane and of course our weekly barbeques with the McPhail Family!  Some just love to relax and enjoy the beauty from their balcony or beside the pool, take in a round of golf and then relax some more!  You can be as busy or as laid back as you’d like!
Lots more coming up in our last few weeks until we’ll regretfully journey home and wait for next winter to come so we can “walkabout” again in our favorite destination!
