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.

Yes just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed out on what everybody else is doing before I head back to the old dart.

Done most of these things except horse riding like PP, too high LOL!!

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...

I wear a rash vest and boardies for swimming, yes I look like an overweight sealion rolled in grease with enlarged nipples but hey, I dont burn.
