Find a cool surf shop when you get there, buy 2 t-shirts, shorts and some thongs (to wear on your feet, not between your cheeks :D :D ) to blend in with the locals. You won't wear any of your UK clothes. Oh, and find the nearest beer shop - job no. 1 !!!! What's news on the pox ?? |

Originally posted by sjn2003 Bit of a long list as it is WBB. You must be far more organised than us, we spent far too much time on the beach and thought sod it we'll do the rest when we come over in September :D My tip is take half as many clothes as you think you will wear. Find a cool surf shop when you get there, buy 2 t-shirts, shorts and some thongs (to wear on your feet, not between your cheeks :D :D ) to blend in with the locals.

What's news on the pox ?? i am only taking half a suitcase of stuff, but the missus and kids have filled 3 :scared: :scared: :scared: the pox is looking like it is on it's last legs, all the spots have dried up and gone scabby, poor bugger looks like she has been out paint balling or something, we have a doctors appointment for monday to get a paper to say she in no longer contagious and fit to fly. BTW i forgot to add beer to my list, but it is never far from my thoughts. ;) :beer: |

Originally posted by WBB talking of piccies, i have just got back from a day's shopping, we bought an extra memory card for the digi camera so we can take 500 odd pics. i will be posting pics to rival simone when i get back! :D :D :D And when I get to Perth in July I'll beat you again! :D Those other photo's aren't even digital ones, all scanned. And there aren't even that many! But, now, we have a digital camera, and if we put it on lower quality we can take about 700 pics :eek: But with good quality about 300! Can't think of any tips, maybe later.... Oh, if you didn't know: in Brisbane city centre you can go up in the town hall with an elavator. Nice view. I think it was free in 2000. Here's a pic of the place ;) I challenge you to make better ones :D (hope you have as nice weather though!!) |
yeah..... take us with you (hahhah)
As long as you have got money i suppose thats the main. Have a good time all the best. xxxx |
