Never did I think a shopping centre would be so cool… [Treasure Island]

Image
  I like me some treasure. That treasure be gold. The Gold Coast. After leaving our friends (very tragic) we went to Treasure Island, near Surfers Paradise. And oh boy, this caravan park was the most kid-friendly park I have ever seen. - One pool, with a slide. - Another pool, with a water fall. - A third pool because why not.. - A splash park. - Basketball court. - Outdoor cinema. - Jumping PILLOW. - Mini golf. - Go karts. - In-park restaurant. - Staff run activities. - Multiple playgrounds. I could go on. Anyway, apart from the caravan park, the actual location was honestly a bit “meh”. It was nice, don’t get me wrong, but this was the first place that felt like a city. Or, Surfers Paradise did, anyway. Treasure Island was alright . While we were here, we met up with a cousin of mine, Nick. We had lunch with him, and then walked down the beach, as there was currently an art festival thingo, so there was a bunch of artworks to look at, though some were better than others. Some pieces

FRY THE ENDS. GET YOURSELF SOME FRIENDS. [Rainbow Beach & Noosa]

  Nooooooooooooooooooooosa Super Dooper Dummy Koopa Trooper Cooper here! In Noosa, we had some friends. I like friends. Without friends, you'll be sad. But before we get to Noosa, we stayed shortly at Rainbow Beach. Rainbow Beach was pretty chill. Unfortunately, the sand is not rainbow, and if it was, some kid would definitely mix up the colours, so I'm glad. Just like 300 metres from the park was a little water front restaurant, which was really nice. Jazzy could come, too, so that makes it extra nice . We were all hanging out eating dinner watching the impending d o o m - I mean, storm roll in. Luckily, it got bored and went in a different direction. As for the food, very nom nom. Dad had some fish tacos or something, which was apparently "I'd have that again" worthy, in Dad terms. I had a curry, which was quite spoocy (spicy) but I was fine with it. Anybog, let's get to Neh-neh-neh-NOOSA. As I said, some of our school friends - the Wrigleys, who had moved t

Hervey Bay! Check it out! [Hervey Bay & K'gari]

Stuff Day. Yo. Cooper here. Did you know that Hervey Bay is cool? In case you didn't allow me to teach you; Hervey Bay is cool. Now that you know, let's talk about it. One of the main attractions of Hervey Bay is K'gari, previously known as Fraser Island. It recently had an official name change, and K'gari is pronounced like "Curry" but with a G instead of a C. The K is silent.  We headed over to K'gari by first getting picked up from a caravan park via bus, then taken over to the island by ferry, and then hopping into a 4-wheel-drive bus. We had to do a lot of sitting. The bus ride was very bumpy, and very long, but after a while we arrived at one of the towns. Our driver then took us down the beach, where we could take a look at the Maheno Shipwreck. Before that, however, us three took a fifteen minute plane ride over the island. It was pretty sick, but they didn't go over the ocean like they said they would. Bog. After the shipwreck, we were taken t

MASH UP TIME! LET'S A GO. 🎤📣💬🏃‍♂️ [Emu Park, 1770]

  The time has come for a mash up. Hey guys, it's me, your favourite messy hair blogger. This blog is a mash up, not because these places were bog or anything, but just because some of them were pretty short and don't really need their own blog. EMU PARK / FISHERMANS BAY Emu park was pretty chill. We played some chess, looked at a tree and realised that the leaves were actually bats, visited an island, sold some stuff. All that jazz. When I say island, I mean Great Keppel Island. Though, if we're being honest, it wasn't that 'great'. The only place there was to eat anything was pretty dodge, the place felt like it had some missed potential. Despite that, we set up on the beach for half the day and it was great. Jaz dug herself into a hole for some reason, Dad also dug up a chair for some reason, and I was trying to balance on a rope tied between two trees... for some reason. We walked around, Mum and Dad had a swim, and then had lunch. Even though the restaurant

The Air is full of Midgies! [Airlie Beach]

  Try our new special, Sunshine with a side of Awe! Airlie Beach. Very slay, as they say.  Airlie Beach had a really awesome feel in the town. There was a market every Saturday, heaps of amazing restaurants, and grass clearing next to the water. In our time, we explored the market, when on bike rides, went on some sunset cruises of debatable quality, and MORE. (⊙o⊙) - One sunset cruise was nice… but just nice. After the sunset, all that was left to do was sit and wait to dock again while listening to cringe music. I don't even know what you would even call the music. Bog. - Dad & I were planning to go JetSki-ing at some point but the company said the  the water was too choppy,  so they suggested we didn’t go. Second bog. I was looking forward to that. Anyway, m y favourite part of Airlie Beach was just the atmosphere. The waterfront cafes, the bars, everything was just so alive. Even the caravan park, with bird feeding every day and food trucks every night.  We went to out t
