While living in Tamworth, we realised we were much closer to Queensland, so we took a holiday to Caloundra. We stayed for 4 nights and made the most of the included breakfast overlooking the ocean and Bribie Island.
Day 1 we spent travelling. We arrived late that night and to our surprise we were checked into the hotel by the hotel manager's daughter in her flannelet pyjamas (no photo of that). Day 2 we had a drive around the local area and also had afternoon tea with Scott's band teacher, Mr Rogers and his wife.
Day 3 we went to Australia Zoo. It is a fantastic zoo, with lots to see and do. We watched a crocodile show and saw Bindi Irwin perform her kid's songs with mum and dad (Terri and Steve Irwin) cheering in the audience. We both liked the tigers best and bought a few photos as reminders and to raise money for animal conservation at the zoo.
Day 4 yes we went to the big pineapple. It was a bit of a disappointment because it is quite run down. Apparently, developers are trying to run the place down so they can close it, then use the land to build houses. The last place we went to was Underwater World. There was even a fish tank inside a car!
