Brisbane - Gold Coast

Lorraine took us to a beach on the Gold Coast (south of Brisbane) called Surfer’s Paradise. It’s very developed and looks a bit like Miami or Daytona Beach, but the beaches are just beautiful. We left just before a big storm moved in. In fact it turned out to be the biggest storm to hit the area in 20 years. Our place in Runcorn saw plenty of rain, thunder and lightning, but suffered no damage. Thankfully, even with the rain it is still warm out.

Beautiful beach, but notice the storm clouds gathering in the distance.


Flags mark the patrolled areas safe for swimming.

Look at that sand.
