New Life on the Road
I would like to take long beach walks. Long lazy beach days – lots of sunscreen of course! Have dinner every evening at a surf club with a view of the ocean. See how Cavill Avenue has changed since I was last there. Drive up and down the coast checking out all the individual beaches. Go Shopping! Then head for the hills of the hinterland and along the Tweed River. Perfect!

We and another family took a 2 week holdiday to The Gold and Sunshine Coasts a couple of years ago. One of my favourite destinations was Seaworld. Loved it and it is on my bucket list to return to and spend some one on one time with a dolphin!
We love Seaworld – and like you…we would love to return and explore more as soon as we can! It would be so good to have 2 weeks holiday exploring Sunshine Coast/goldcoast 🙂
Cheers

My family and I ended up staying an extra couple of days as they couldn’t get enough to Dreamworld so my planned holiday of 2 weeks lasted 2.5 weeks, but well worth it. I loved the rides they are so safe and fun.
Theme parks in Gold Coast are the best. If you want a stress reliever from work, visit dreamworld with your family during holiday. You will surely forget problems(and your age 🙂 ).
