Yesterday we headed north from Nambucca Heads towards Brisbane. It's been about 8 years since I've been in the NSW North Coast (for my sister Debbie's wedding in Byron Bay), and since then a new freeway has been constructed... the trip is a lot faster than it used to be, but it has lost something special along the way as well. Progress.We arrived at her office mid afternoon to nick her house key so that we could use her laundry (& pool!) and then had a pleasant evening with her, the boys and her hubby Greg. Today was "the excursion" to the city with Happy Harry (7) and Mad "Pocket Rocket" Max (5) into the city. We caught the train into Southbank, and spent a while walking/exploring until we reached our destination of the Queensland Museam ScienceCenter (for Melbournites think ScienceWorks + Musuem). We had a brilliant time exploring all the exhibits, had some lunch and then some (more bloody) momento shopping...
Next stop was the Brisbane Wheel (huge ferris wheel where this pic was taken) and then the CityCat down the river to Riverside where we met Andrew Napier (from Quest) for a coffee and chat before returning on the ferry for a swim at Street's beach and an ice cream followed by the train ride back to Ferny Hills (via the bottle shop of course!) and after dinner a few hours in the pool. All up a really fun day.
Tomorrow the trip "really" starts. Next stop is Rainbow Beach where we will stay a day or two and will most likely hire a 4WD to explore Fraser Island before continuing our way up into the tropics...

Must be something about the name Max, my sister's little boy Max is a bit of a 'pocket rocket' as well.
Actually his nickname is MAXccident.
