Day 9: Surfer's Paradise

 We sadly said good-bye to Fraser Island this morning, boarded our Ferry & headed back to mainland Australia. We got back on our bus and headed back south.  First stop was Underwater World Aquarium where we saw all sorts of marine life & even watched a seal show!  Grabbed a quick lunch and back on the coach we went, continuing south.  Our destination of tonight is Surfer’s Paradise, and we arrived just in time to see the sun set.  Surfer’s is a big concrete jungle/Vegas feeling. We walked around a bit tonight, and hit some shops.  Not much to report today as we spent most of it on the coach. Weather is absolutely gorgeous here – mid 70s… a bit chilly in the morning and after the sun goes down at night. Our Tour Director, Adam, has challenged us all with an on-going trivia game.  One round was played in New Zealand. So far we’ve done another round here and just got another set of questions this afternoon.  Kids are in 2nd place, adults in 3rd – Go Iowa!!!
Tomorrow we’re off for an Australian adventure today… possibly learning how to throw boomerangs!
G’day from Surfers!

Good-bye Fraser!
