Hey Everyone! I know I’m terrible at getting around to blogging all the spots I went to. And I’ve even finished all the videos for Australia finally!

So Brisbane. Still, on the route of making our way up the east coast, Mark and I were lucky enough to stay at my family friends apartment for a week in Fortitude Valley. Was really nice to have some space, chill in a lounge in an evening watching TV and catching up on a bit of life admin.

Our first proper day we met our hometown friend Jack, who was going to be joining us on our trip after Brisbane. We hopped into Jack’s Subaru Forrester and went to check out Mt Coot-tha look out over the city. After a brief wander around that area, we went to check out South Bank for some food and a see touristy things like the Brisbane sign.

The nightlife was pretty awesome in Brisbane. So much to choose from in Fortitude Valley and it gets pretty busy. a few of the places we checked out were Rick’s. It caught my attention as there was a band playing in the front room and after everyone disappeared. it wasn’t till I went to the toilet I found a whole outdoor area packed with people dancing. It was good from what I can remember haha. Another place I checked out was The Brightside. now if your a post-emo kid like myself you will love it. A converted church looking building, live music and after alternative rock Dj’s playing everything from My Chemical Romance to Paramore. Reminding me of District and Face Down nights with have in the UK. So if that’s your thing definitely check it out.

Another thing I would recommend going to is the Wet n Wild waterpark. It’s a good day out with friends. and some of the slides are unreal. it was a bonus that Billabong had a shop there and it had a massive sale on too.

Next stop Surfers Paradise
