FINAL BOWLING DAY

DAY 6 – Back to Bowling

Today, we returned to the alley to bowl in our final day.

Tim had a wonderful day with a score of 206! (WOW!)


After bowling we returned to our accommodation and again, some slept and some went for a walk.

Dinner was at Gilhooleys – an Irish Restaurant in the heart of Brisbane.

High Five

DAY 5 – Wednesday

Sightseeing Day!

No bowling – great relief for the bowlers.

Today we had a fantastic ride on the Aquaduck, which is an amphibious vehicle.  

Some of us even drove the thing...









After our tour around Surfers Paradise we took a walk to the beach then had a very filling lunch at Hard Rock Café. Some dropped in to purchase Krispy Kreme Donuts and when we returned to our accommodation, some bowlers slept while others went for a walk in the Botanic Gardens which is directly opposite us.

Dinner was at the Phoenix Chinese Restaurant in Brisbane.
