shabu shabu
If you guessed Japanese you are right – it’s basically Japan’s version of fondue. On Saturday night after Novemberfest Bec, Gus, Susan and I visited our local Shabu house on Mary street. Bec and I were ready for the challenge of a new dining experience, where as Susan and Gus were a bit sceptical at […]

stanthorpe
We’ve both been keen for a winter holiday, but sadly that thing called work has limited our ability to travel. To help the situation Susan quit her job, giving us two week days off to get away. Still not having enough time (or wanting to blow that much cash) to fly anywhere, Susan discovered this […]

QT
Who doesn’t love a 5 day long weekend! To make the most of the break we booked a super cheap special for the recently rebranded QT hotel on the Gold Coast. Last year Rydges took over the tired old Gold Coast International hotel, and then did nothing with it, until now, with it’s new brand […]

australia day 2011
This year with Australia Day being on a Wednesday, we were afforded the luxury to go out on a school night and still kind of get a sleep in the following day. Tuesday night we headed next door for a pre-Australia Day party at Gus & Bec’s. It was a fairly low key event with […]

After the flood
Friday It wasn’t until Friday once the waters had subsided that we could truly understand the heart breaking devastation that was just starting. We drove down one local street that just looked like we had been transported into a third world shanty town. Everything was brown – the houses, the road, cars that were left […]

The Great flood of 2011
Living close to the river is great – and we’d thought we had done all the right checks to make sure that if there was ever a reoccurrence of the ’74 floods we’d be high and dry. That was until this week! With the impending flooding of the Brisbane river we started to get worried. […]

NYE 2010
To see out the end of 2010 and welcome in 2011 we headed back down the coast to Kingscliff for a few nights. Rather than staying at our old favourite Salt, we picked a new hotel just a little further south, but still on the same beach. We left Brisbane on NYE and headed to […]
