So whats the best thing to do on Christmas day in Brissy area if you arent staying at home? This is our third xmas here but first year we went around to the neighbours for dinner, last year had friends around with kids from Nz, this year just the 2 of us!! Where could we go?????????????? Thinking of just going to the beach at surfers...Pete

Come to us we'll be bored of each other......no beach...just a bed...

You could make a picnic and catch the water taxi over to Tangalooma and go swimming/snorkeling around the wrecks and lazing in the water.

Southbank beach, New Farm park, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.

Picnic at Currumbin Rock Pools.

Explore the waterfalls/rainforest behind Brisbane/Gold Coast.

Visit Oreilly's.

All good ideas. We're having a chilled day but going to the revolving restaurant in Surfers for Twilight Buffet early evening. If anyone has had a bad meal there or bad experience in recent months please don't bother telling me about it, I've already paid

Would the water taxi be runnning christmas day!?

"going to the beach and surfers"

Is still preferable on working...

Yes it is.

poor buggers working xmas day

O'Reilly's is a great place to go. Take a picnic Christmas lunch and have a hike through the beautiful rainforest.

Now there's an offer you don't get everyday!

didn't realise it sounded like that!!!!!!

Of course you didn't!

So, what did you do Petejackson?

Hope it was better than mine........
