Im going to QUEENSLAND

[Camo]

Hello all,

Well its a fair way away yet but on the 15th of February i will be going to QLD for a 10 day holiday (i have not had one in 4 years) and i am getting pretty excited about it.

I know for all of you that live in QLD must be saying why is Camo getting so excited about going to QLD? Well the simple fact that there is theme parks, TimeZone and my favourite restaurant SIZZLERS, well that is enough for me to go already.

I will also be doing some gun shooting, the sling shot, vomatron and a few other fun bits and pieces. You QLD people also have really good Mini Golf centres.

I will be going to the Wax Museum and Australia Zoo and Currumbin.

Well my question is what other stand outs in QLD do you reccommend i try?

Cheers

Cameron

Hire the mini choppers for the day, i think they cost aorun $100 for a day and about $8 in fuel for the whole day and if theres a few people they are about as funa s anything(If your sense of humour is a good one) they kept 4 of us amused for a whole day racing and causing a bit of michief

Go to Dracula's at the Gold Coast! We have been there twice and it is a really fun night!

 

[888lowndes888]

Yeah Draculas is good. Also Conrad Jupiters is you don't mind a bit of gambling.

Yeah i have done the slingshot a few times before. I love it.

No mate i just know alot of people and i am sure other people will aggree that some people get very angry on the Bundy. I personally cant stand the taste of it so it has nothing to do with not being able to handle the piss. I love beer plain and simple. :lol:

Really, all the times i have been in Sydney i have gone to Sizzlers and loved it. Maybe you just got them on a bad day.

Is it a theme restaurant? We have a few of them down here.

 

[LullabyLizard]

I would love to go to Australia Zoo! Your lucky

Draculas? :shock::shock: You'd have to be bored to be considering that! The themeparks are all fun, but GC nightlife is mostly crap nightclubs, and pissed-up idiots looking for trouble. Outside of the southend (Burleigh to Cooly), the GC smokes pipe. Badly.

Are you looking for nightlife/lights, or just more general things to do? Do you surf? Looking to herp?

- Nthn NSW has way more to offer (not Byron, that's a cesspit of BMW X5s and pseudo hippies ). Try the Brunswick Hotel on a Sun arvo for probably the best beer garden in Australia. Ok surf and good fishing too. Good fishing in the Tweed River too - lots of Bream and Jacks are coming on up further. Good old pub in Tumbulgum too ( right on the Tweed). Hire tinnies on the Tweed and in Currumbin Creek (lots of flathead, bream and whiting).

- Both Nthn NSW and the GC hinterland have great opportunities for herping (just look through the herping threads). Lamington and Springbrook especially.

- While you are up this way, you might consider climbing Mt Warning. Quick drive from the Goldy or stay for dirt cheap at http://mtwarningholidaypark.com/site/rates/ which is at the foot of the mountain (and a 5min drive to the carpark at the base). Have an early night and get up there by sunrise. It really is the goods.

- Sunny Coast is better than the Goldy too. Surf isnt as good, but the fishing is. Plenty of hinterland to explore too.

- If you've got time on your hands, gotta get across to Straddie. My favorite place in Qld. Excellent surf, and great beach fishing. Become a bit overrun by yuppies, but the true locals are a good bunch. Here's some herp info;

Reptiles
About 16 species of snakes occur on North Stradbroke Island. Species most likely to be encountered include the carpet python (Python spilotes); green tree-snake (Dendralaphis punctulatus); and the red-bellied black snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus). The death adder (Acanthophis antarcticus) is well distributed but is uncommon. Several species of sea snakes also occur.
Larger lizards which may be encountered include the sand monitor (Vanarus gouldii); lace monitor (V. varius) and bearded dragon (Amphibolurus barbatus), but many species of skinks are also present.
The long-necked tortoise (Chelodina longicollis) frequents permanent swamps and lakes and is the only land tortoise present. Green turtles (Chelonia mydas); and loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) can sometimes be seen in Moreton Bay or in the off-shore waters near Point Lookout.


Hope that helps you out.


Dont forget - you can get 4ZZZ on your radio from the nth Goldy through to the Sunshine Coast. 102.1FM

how bout go see some real qld? maybe go to the daintree or a national park? u cant go past any of the whitsunday islands, or any reef trips.

No i will not be doing any herping or fishing or anything like that. I do enough of that around here so this holiday will just be a relaxing one i am thinking.
