Tappers2oz Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 That looks so much fun! DS keeps going on about body boarding (Thanks to watching Bondi Rescue). Can't wait for him to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish.01 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Today we had a little drive around the Glass House Mountains on the Sunshine coast. Here are some pictures 'Named by James Cook during his epic voyage along Australia's east coast, the Glass Houses are rhyolite plugs formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago. Remnants of the open eucalypt woodland and heath vegetation, which once covered the coastal plains, provide a home for an interesting variety of animals and plants, including 26 near threatened plant species. The Glass House Mountains area was a special meeting place where many Aboriginal people gathered for ceremonies and trading. This place is considered spiritually significant with many ceremonial sites still present and protected today.' http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/parks/glass-house-mountains/about.html I guess someone has told you that Mt Tibrogargan is Gorilla Mountain to the locals...driving back to the sunny coast you can see why.

Guest roaminnomore Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 All is good with us, we have had our storm and now we are enjoying our quiet (well, if you can with three rugrats!). Me thinks there is a new preditor around the shores of Auz, a real man eater, the sharks better watch out - tee hee. Nice work honey, seriously did not see that one coming! I wish you both all the best and many a happy a time honey. Ley x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PositivePixie Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Weell I don't knwo about bungee jumping but I do want to skydive! Bungee jumping is SO bad for you, its something I would never risk - detached retinas and bruised brains - no thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest59177 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Well I did my dive at their Sydney location: http://www.brisbaneskydivers.com.au/ I don't know how things are at Brisbane, you can search on Google for 'Brisbane skydiving' and shop around, also ask some locals who may know. OR you could wait till you get to Sydney. Are you planning to do the Tandem jump or take the full course and do a solo jump with jump masters holding on to you?
