Fri 11th to Tues 15th April
We were met in Brisbane airport by our good friend Mojdeh formerly of Adelaide who hosted us very generously in her Gold Coast digs. And it rained tropical cats and dogs the morning after we arrived which made us feel very welcome!
Watching the dolphin show at Sea World was serious business!
As were the mandatory show rides (which Delia delighted in), including this merry-go-round, which although quite tame, gave Dan the wobbles....!
Tues 15th & Weds 16th April
We set off late in the afternoon for the NSW border, destination Lismore, to visit more ex-Adelaide friends, Cuchulain and Nazanin Coker.
Of course, we had the mandatory visit to the Coast, but didn't like the laid back 'hype' of Byron so set off for quiet Lennox Head and a walk by the great Pacific Ocean. 
Thurs 16th and Fri 17th April
We caught the train up to Brisbane and spent our last evening with Joey and John. Dan's mum had befriended Joey in Adelaide a few years ago, when she had come out from China to explore Australia. The contact has been kept up and she has since migrated to Queensland with her husband. It was touching to see her again in their new home making a good go at adapting to life in a new country like real Aussie battlers.
