Day Trips -Australia

During the Covid pandemic, we had the chance to spend a few days in some incredible places in Australia. We stayed with friends in Brisbane, went to the flower show in Toowomba, hiked the stunning Glass House mountains and explored the vibrant city of Brisbane. The photo gallery is organized in four parts: Brisbane metro and some day trips with our friends, Bunya Mountain, and finally Toowomba. While it doesn't seem like we did a lot, everything, tennis, and time with friends, traveling, all was built around the projects we did on the boat; preparing for the next leg of our journey.
