Brisbane, redux

I was very lucky to be able to have gone back to Brisbane again last weekend to spend some more time with Amanda. And this time the weather cooperated! At least for the first day!

We took the ferry out to Stradbroke Island, which is about a 45 minute drive from the city. The island is made totally of sand and only a few hundred people live on it. It was incredibly beautiful and we got some good beach time in. There is one beach that is 21 miles of straight sand!!

Two of her friends from Brisbane also joined us, so it was a fantastic girls day trip!

Here are some pictures of the ferry across. It was only my second car ferry trip ever!!!
