It's been a fun couple of weeks with Derek and Travis visiting. I think they've had a decent introduction to Brisbane city living as well as a couple excursions along the way.
- Down to the GC a few times for surfing and beaching
- Climbed through a tropical rainforest to the top of a volcanoe (Mt Warning)
- For NYE we had an awesome seafood dinner at The Wharf at Breakfast Creek. Then we boarded a yacht (35 foot Tasman Catamaran) and sailed up the Brisbane River to watch the fireworks. Afterwards we stumbled to my place for a few beverages and living room dance-offs.
- A day of boating in Moreton Bay with Nadya and Peet on their yacht. We swam with Dugongs and turtles while they ate sea grass all around us!!
- Hit DreamWorld for some rides and perving (I wasn't perving, Derek and Travis did though).
- The Normanby for a Super Sunday Session.
- Introduced them to sushi.
- And of course many a night in the Valley, sampling the local markets...

And today after work we head to Sunset Sounds, a 2-day music festival at River Stage in the Botanical Gardens. Bands include: Day 1 - The Hives, The Cat Empire, The Kooks, Tegan & Sara, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Faker, Gomez, Soko, Yves Klein Blue... Day 2 - Franz Ferdinand, The Grates, Santogold, Donavon Frankenreiter, Ash Grunwald, C.W. Stoneking, I Heart Hiroshima.
On Friday the boys are leaving me and heading north for some real backpacking and tourist hoopla. First they're off to Noosa for a river kayak and camping, then to Fraser Island for a 3-day adventure, and then they push further north to Airlie Beach and the Great Barrier Reef. Oh how I'd like to join them .
