3 worlds done!!

Heya All,

I am typing a very very quick update as I am waiting for the shuttle to come and pick me up and take me to the outback spectacular!!!! I am soooo excited and ready for a night of yelling, horses and good aussie food :P

Yesterday was dreamworld which was quite busy and lots and lots of lining up but we did manage to get on quiet a few of the scary good rides and had lots and lots of fun . . Amanda was a great addition to our little group as T and I had someone to drag with us on all the scary rides though DH did manage to go on a few as well we were VERY proud of her!!!
The log ride was good though we got drenched and as we had heavy clothes on we got a little chilly . . .we soon forgot about that though as we went on the Rollar coaster which you sit up right in little motorcycle type things . . (will post pics later)

Today was a day of lots of cute animals including dolphins, sea lions, polar bears, sharks, penguins ect . . . also of course a rollar coaster which we did 3 times . . . a log ride and a very cool ride called Bemunda triangle which was on water in a little raft thing and you went through like a little world then down a big rapid to finish it off SO much fun!!!

Now I have raced home to get ready for the outback show . . . . must fly as I need to get money out to buy some merchandise :P

Love to All

Sunday Day 1 of Theme parks



Pic 1 Amanda and I Pic 2 The theme park gang
Hi All,


After a lovely long sleep it was time to wake up with lots of excitment as it was DAY ONE of the theme parks and for those of you with itineries you know it was Whitewater world . . . .


We got on our shuttle which did drop off's at the other parks just to tease us then we got there . . . of course a wait in a line to get in . . . .work out how to use the lockers and we were ready in our bathers, me with camera in hand and YES covered in sunscreen and me with a hat as I wasn't getting on any of the slides . . . .


WOw it is just awesome though to get to run around like a child all day, walk around in your swimmers ect . . . for the morning I just followed around as the pack horse while they ran up stairs to the next scary looking slide hehehe Lunch was actually not too bad a grilled chicken burger . . .


After lunch I convinced TF to come up onto the kids area with me where I managed to go down some of the supposedly slow slides (my bottom they were slow) but I DID IT!!!! Then that was that I was off on the Green room which is the scariest slide there where you go down a big drop in a raft and it eventually spits you out hehe BY far the most popular ride with the 4 of us was the Hydrocoaster which was like a roallar coaster but with water VERY FUN. . . I did make TF go with me on the kids slides a lot more through out the afternoon, as well as play in the wave pool for awhile which was lots of fun too!

Caught the local bus back which got us back quicker and showered got dressed and off into the main street for dinner and some bowling WHERE i DIDN'T come last woohoo!!!
Now I have to run and get some breakfast before going out to Dreamworld . . .Amanda is meeting us out there today too as she has the day off and can't resist a ride or two :-)
Love to All
Cara :-)






Saturday Afternoon

GOLD COAST HERE WE ARE!!

Had a nice drive down with Amanda, got here and we were able to check in early Wow the room is very very nice :-))

Went for some long awaited breakfast at about 11am then went for a bit of a walk (5km) to Pacific Fair which is the big shopping center here . . . .got a few pairs of shorts cheap in Kmart and Target before heading back to meet up with Tenille and Lorraine as they had arrived!!!!!!

We were all stuffed which stopped my plan of partying hard and the most we managed was a meal at hte hard rock cafe before heading home to our beds . . . . yep a bunch of nanna's on a vacation together, I know what you are thinking :P

Saturday Morning in Brisbane

Heya All,

After a very rushed, unorganised morning MOST UNLIKE ME, I did manage with the help of Tracy to make it to the airport in time to catch my plane heheh with time to eat something before hand as well!!

The flight was very easy and uneventful, I paid to get the tv for the flight which saved me reading all of my new novel straight away . . . . . . instead I got to laugh along to the Nanny and some Gilmore girls :-))

Stood in a very long taxi cue to get to the Motel, brushed teeth, wash face and back out the door to head into the city . . .caught the city shuttle which are ferry's, So Dad I knew you would be envious :P

Had a bite to eat and a few rums and lemonade, walked through the casino which is in the most awesome building its sooooo cool!!

Sleep wasn't so good, it was pretty hot in the room and people started getting up about 5am in other rooms . . .then the clock alarm went off at 6am hehe

Sorry for the short hand I am typing this very quickly as I wait for Amanda to arrive so we can head on down to the Gold Coast . . .

The weather is warm and of course humid but very pleasant!!

Alright time to fly and get out of this very HOT room they have their computer in here . . . No pics yet to show as I forgot the camera in the room last night in the race to get out before it got too late :-(

Love to All
