Our Time in Gold Coast

Gold Coast Trip - Part 10 Capturing the Moments

For the last part of the Gold Coast series, I will conclude with some photography shots that i took during the trip. But before that let's have a look at the gear that I brought to this trip.

Not often you get to see Surfers Paradise with no one around. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to take a shot of the landmark with no one around it.

Gold Coast Trip - Part 9 A night out at Surfers Paradise

Surfers Paradise is not only about beaches and surfing. When the sun goes down, Surfers Paradise has its different side.

Surfers Paradise is an exciting place at night, you can tell by so many police cars on standby.

Dracula's haunted house is a popular place at night

Gold Coast Trip - Part 8 Brisbane day trip

As a side trip, we spent a day at Brisbane, mainly just to get a general impression of it while we are in Queensland. It took about 1.5 hrs drive from Gold Coast to Brisbane, about 100km drive.

Brisbane city map. I took a photo of it to guide us around.

Queens Plaza


The landmark of Brisbane City Hall @ King George Square.


We spent most of the time in the morning checking out the centeof the city around Queen street and Adelaide Street.





Then we caught up with another mall

The foodcourt packed with people at lunch time.

Surprisingly, I found a Crumpler @ Adelaide St, Brisbane


Brisbane ChinaTown @ Wickham street, Brisbane

We stopped at Chinatown to have a quick lunch before we head out to the Brisbane river

We then drove to the Brisbane river after lunch. The Brisbane River is the longest river in southeast Queensland, Australia. The stroy bridge in the background was built in 1940, named after John Douglas Story.
