Rainbow Beach@Sunshine Coast - Part 2

Harlo harlo, its a sunny yet windy day! Everyone out there is so actively doing outdoor sports, which makes me feel envious! Aikks, you have to sacrifice in order to get something you dream of, right? Hope my leg recovers ASAP and I will get to go outside and have fun like others do!!


Like a piece of ART, don't you think so?

Yeap, let me continue our roadtrip to the ever-beautiful rainbow beach at sunshine coast! Just after our lunch at KinKin hotel, Issac has decided to pull himself off from the trip for safety reason and PW's bro - Wei Jian has volunteered himself to accompany Issac all the way back to Brissy...Wah, such a great housemate huh (Issac, WeiJian, PW and Belle are staying under the same roof).


KinKin Country Life Hotel...Get some beer, mates?


The Aussie Choppers!!

So, here we go, 2 rented cars left to continue our adventure! There were 4 pessengers (KF, KF's dad, Ernest and PW) in my car along the way to rainbow beach. The three huge piggies were dozing off at the back and 'keep asking' me to join them into their 'amazing' dreams~ Luckily KF's dad was beside me to discuss all the funny stories in car learning center, now I know lotsa secrets!! **JPJ, you ain't that good...whaahah!!** XD

After a straight 2 hours of drive, we finally made it to the well-known beach!!




That's the Pacific Ocean, but where's the bikinis?! :P


No bikinis but monkeys JUMPING!!!

We got to know another main tourist spot from the locals there, its called the SandBlow~~

Just like a dessert~


Nice dusk view from the SandBlow...

All of us just fooling around, playing the multicoloured sands...yeah, this is the best appreciation ever...listening to the wind blowing sound and watching the sky getting dark gradually!!


Can't get to go there? Just 'CLICK' it....hehe!!


Cute cloud doggy, see that?!

Yea, that's our 1day trip to Sunshine coast...KF's dad is also a great food eater as he knows lots of places with yummy food...Its so nice to have such yummilicious and mouth-watering conversations with him along the way back to Brissy!!

Alright, time for Ernest and I to cook a feast for friends as they are coming over to our place to have dinner later...have to get myself prepared !! Cya folks, have a great weekend!

Love,

Rainbow Beach@Sunshine Coast - Part 1

Aloha all, its 2nd of Apr today!! Arh, it signifies that my assign's due date is approaching...can someone please help me out with that? Hee...being a lazy and procrastinating young lad (I'm still young, right?), gotta keep myself more organized this sem...

Oh ya, the Easter break has just passed, some of you would wonder what have I done during the holidays...The answer is ---> Assignment Week!! But, I did manage to escape from the boredom and went over for a road trip up north to Sunshine Coast with gang of friends on 22nd March 08'...woohooo!! I want to see sunshine and bikinis....:-P !!




3 Awesome cars to 'send' us to the paradise... Issac's Mitsubishi Lancer, Nissan Tiida & Hyundai Elantra (both rented from Europcar)

Our trip route was going up north via M1 highway then connected to Bruce Highway straight to Rainbow Beach. For your info, M1 highway is Australia's coastal highway joining Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria states. It needs to drive for 1000km from Brisbane to Sydney by using this stretch of highway. The 1st stop was the Glasshouse Mountains Point Lookout. The Glasshouse Mountains consist of 5 major peaks.

Ernest and I with the highest peak among Glasshouse Mountains

But, things turned bad when Issac's car had a gearbox failure and we were trapped in the middle of jungle. KF's dad, who is an experienced instructor for car learning center, has tried his best to get the car driving to the nearest town to seek for mechanic.


The anxious Issac...What is he going to do?


The agony of every roadtrip

We reached a small town named Kin Kin and managed to get the local mechanic to get the car fixed. It was 2pm and everyone has yet to have some food to keep the stomach silent, so we decided to stop by and had our lunch. Kin Kin is little town where we can sample the farmlife pictures...Mooo...lots of separated farms with sheep and cow herds...


Ernest, KF, HW, Belle and I with herds of cow...

As a gluttony and always hunger for more, awesome food will always on the eating list...


Special pork chop berger with chips...


Beer-battered Fish & Chips with garden salad and homemade Tar-Tar dipping sauce


All the hungry munchies...


The comparison between 'BIG' & 'SMALL'....Delicious!!

Arh, looking at the yummy and attractive food photos, my stomach starts growling for food! Time for lunch here, then have to continue to work on my assignments!! I will be back for part 2 as soon as possible, so please stay tune...Catch ya later~~ Have a wonderful day!
