BACK TO BRISBANE

Back to Brisbane to stay in Victoria Point with cousin Lynn and Errol.   Picked up the new hire car. Feeling happier with the sat nav and enjoying driving the automatic on the comparatively quiet roads.

A day to settle in before taking the ferry over to North Stradbroke Island where Lynn & Errol lived and worked for many years.

Straddie is the second largest sand island in the world and has been a site for sand mining for over 60 years.  There are three small towns, a number of lakes and the coastline is spectacular. 

e

There are fantastic beaches and lots of opportunities for:

a quick paddle with Lynn

a stroll along the boardwalk with Gaye, Elijah, Michelle and Lynn

 

climbing rocks with Kayla

and a try on Elijah's electric skateboard

Tasty evening meal of freshly caught seafood on the balcony of the apartment at Point Lookout

and a visit from a praying mantis

Brilliant weekend with lovely people ... we love Straddie!
