Brisbane

We were lucky enough to go to Brisbane for a business trip and so had a quick visit to Dreamworld on the Gold Coast. We had never been there before so it was a new experience all around. K had a ball!



First we took a walk along the river front.



Then a run through the Botanic Gardens, always a favourite of mine to visit in a new city.




Dreamworld wouldn't be Dreamworld without Spongebob :)







T surfing.

A highlight of the day was visiting Tiger Island. The staff were really informative and as they had to stay between the adult tigers at all times due to the tigers' solitary territorial nature, they were continually answering questions, even after the "show" had finished. It was a really peaceful setting and we were quite close so had great views. The tigers were beautiful. I am fascinated with big cats so this was a real thrill for me.




These 22 month old cubs were so playful with each other and the keepers.



The adult letting the cub know who's boss!










K had such a wonderful day. I'm so glad we finally got around to getting to Dreamworld. It's been on our to-do list for a long time.
