Holiday in Queensland

That time of the year when everyone heads north for winter, we picked the best 3 weeks for our trip to sunny Queensland, we heard it had been raining heavy in Jervis Bay, whilst travelling north it was bright sunshine where ever we went.

We spent 2 weeks with Leanne, Ben and our grandchildren Madison & Jesse, In that time we spent 5 days at Broadbeach at the Belle Maison, very spacious and in a great spot, 1 block from the beach and shops and about 4 kilometres from Surfers Paradise.

We travelled to Coolangatta for the Rock & Roll festival on the long weekend which was absolutely packed with people plus 1300 classic cars and fantastic bands playing in the 2 main streets. The festival was very enjoyable with a parade of floats bands and cars, bikes and kids.

Our trip back home was very relaxing travelling from the coastal regions to inland rainforests, we visited a few lighthouses that had fantastic views of the coastline, although to get to the lighthouses we had to walk up very steep driveways, not fun, Rob had to push me up a few times, but it was getting easier after the 3rd Lighthouse.

Since we arrived home it had rained for a week, we were wishing we were still up north enjoying the sunshine.

I will post some pictures as soon as I get some free time.
