Yeah sure Brian we have shops here bookshops just like U.K. and if you check it out Believe it or not they will have a selection of guide books on where to go what to see Bundles of money has been spent on research i am sure they will be just what you want.example Lonely planet guide. Eyewitness.and others in fact if you had looked they even sell them back home bookshops,airports that kind of place you know the kind of place you look before you go away.Hope this helps! if not ask a policeman.

Bus trip to Aussie Zoo worth it, think it is still the more worth while of the animal parks overall. If you are sad and into plants Botanical Gardens next to Mount Cootah (not spelt correct and nothing else probably is either) OK if combined with the Mountain view point and we saw large wild python at the gardens. Surfers if you want total tourist hit. Sunshine Coast much preferred Noosa etc. . Did you say you had a car Montville and Malaney can both be done on same day. The koala place on the river in Brisbane they do boat tours to it.

Nothing wrong with a bit of haughty-culture in my book (coming soon).

Anyway, when in Brisbane you must ... get down to Fortitude Valley and get hammered on Friday, spend a lazy Saturday on the City Cats pub-hopping with a group of mates then get yer butt up to The Glasshouse Mountains for some honest to goodness back-to-nature bush walking on Sunday.
