Discuss..............or not...........

:confused: Everything you do anywhere else? Shopping, cafes, sport, bike riding, attractions, events, visit friends, parks, museums/galleries, day trips (mountain village for example) etc....most people I know in Brisbane rarely go to the beach...is this the sort of thing you meant?

Bike riding, go for a drive, voluntary work, take the dog out for a walk to the forest/beach, go camping - doesnt have to be far. And if I can find a stables not far from me or within reasonable travelling distance, I shall start horse riding.

They are probably a normal weekend almost anywhere...you had probably done all that before you left in the first place....you just get to do the normal stuff in a different environment. ;) Stuff unique to Australia is not usually done in your average weekend when you live in a city...
