Brisbane

Today, we drove 6 hours to complete our trip from Sydney to Brisbane.  At lunch time, we pulled up at a park in a town called Sandy Beach to practice violin for about four hours.  When we arrived at the caravan park, it was about 10:30pm, so we washed up and went to bed.  

The next day, we woke up around 9am.  For breakfast, my brother and I made animal-shaped pancakes.  We made 2 Emus, 6 Wombats, 1 Echidna, 1 Platypus, 2 Kangaroos, and a Dingo that we had to give plastic surgery to. 

At lunchtime, we recorded our auditions for Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra's premiere ensembles.  After trying various backgrounds, and settings on my dad's camera, we finally had a good take for each of us.  We will upload those when we have some high speed internet connections.  (Most of the wifi in caravan parks is pretty weak.)

For dinner, we drove into downtown Brisbane.  We parked our big-rig next to a Ferrari dealership, which is where we spent the next 15 minutes gawking.  Then, we went to one of the most famous places in Brisbane; the Story Bridge.  Ay night, the bridge was lit up in beautiful blue lights.  From "The Coffee Club," the restaurant we went to, there was a beautiful view of the bridge.  Today was a great day.  Tomorrow, we will begin our drive up to Rockhampton, where my dad is going to visit with some boarding school headmasters.

One of the supporters snapped, so I stepped in!
