Australia: Queensland (Brisbane) and NSWIncludes New South Wales, Gold Coast and CairnesTravel and Tourism, Vacation Guide
|
| This page shows my personal view of Queensland (and nearby northern New South Wales) Australia. | |
|---|---|
This is an area of fine beaches, good people and hot weather. Why have I not returned? 
| |
In the Brisbane parks during the October springtime I was most impressed with the purple Jacaranda and brilliant red flowered flame trees. I thought that these trees only bloomed in Queensland until I later lived in Alameda, California.

Some friends.

I spent a month in Coolangatta, Qld and its sister city of Tweed Heads, NSW. This is the cool, laid back end of the Gold Coast. 
| |
The scenery in nearby parts of New South Wales was sometimes impossibly green. This swimming hole had a deep drop into a cave.

I have lost track of my Australian friends. If Rod and Jan Parker of Brisbane Luxaflex, or any other of my other old friends/acquaintances sent me a message it would certainly brighten my day. It is difficult to track old friends in Australia since the phone directories only list initials and surnames without the first names.
