The following day we travelled up the coast with Tim to experience his beach house for a few days, stopping at KFC on the way was a bad shout due to the fact that aussies KFC's are poor in comparison to ours, albeit cheaper, Tim's dad infact is the head of KFC Australia so we geared some constructive criticism his way. First impressions of the beach house were "that's bigger than my house", inside was pretty spectacular aswell due to a balcony overlooking the sea and a huge TV with sky. We barbecued that night before the rain followed us once more, we then retreated inside for a comedy session before bed. The beach called in the morning so we left with towell's, football and body board's and within 5 minutes walk were there, the surf looked pretty hairy and the call was given by the lifeguard for us to leave the water as soon as we got in, there was allway's tomorrow.

We were due to leave today due to a university party back in Brisbane, we mooched to the beach once more though in the morning in search of the sun before we left. On the way back we decided to check out the Steve Irwin zoo but with less than 2 hours to spare and a $46 price tag we decided against it. Instead we headed up to see the Glass House Mountains for some spectacular views before our rental car began leaking brake fluid, under the hood we could see a tank of fluid where the water was boiling, the call was given to use lemonade to cool it down, and we then left with no further problems.

Back in Brisbane we met with Tim once again and went back to his house outside the city, which i must say was pretty damn spectacular. His sister drove us in to Brisbane, picking Poida up on the way. When we got to the destination we payed $10 to get in to this bar where the party was being held, we were greeted with a $10,000 bar tab. Not shortly after a fashion parade, Jesse Mc'Cartney(as the aussies called him), AKA Tom was thrown out due to being smashed. After some abuse was thrown his way for getting us all kicked out a free drinks bar, we mooched to another bar and entered using our Sects card's. After buying the first round, the question was raised "Where is Jesse?", the night then went even further down hill as our squadron began searching for the smashed youth. Several hours later he was found mugged, but uninjured, he didn't look happy, but neither were we, abuse followed once more, all privilages were then revoked.
The Day after that could be considered a Rugby sesh, we basically sat in Poida's house and watched it all day. Myself, and Peter, not being huge fans of watching the sport were pretty engaged as one match of the Super 14's league came to and end spectacularly as Western Force produced a last minute try to win the win the game. We stayed at Tim's that night after a pizza hut takeaway.
Day 6 or 7, cant remember which was going to be a house party but ended up being a night out in Toowonga. A stop at the bottle-o for some piss(as they say over there), and a short food stop began the night. Nick's house was our base for a few hours before we hit the town. The whole night took place in a club in toowonga, after a few drinks we took to the dancefloor/club area for some dancing lessons from Nick, allready pretty smashed by that point we left him to impress the ladies with his magic. He had his eye on a black girl and shortly after was chatting to her, the follow up went like this: Nick lifts girl's skirt, hand's girl his phone and then goes to get her a beverage, return's with a glass of water. After we watched his attempt's to woo the girl she approaches Marcus, "You're T-shirt is cool, you're friend is not" she bellows as she hands Marcus Nick's phone. After leaving the club and going in search of food, we found a kebab shop where kebab's come wrapped in a tortilla like bread and is so much easier to eat than home's offering.
After a reconaissance mission to find a Maxi taxi(you can work that one out), i was left with Nick lying flat on the pavement, and after 3 passes from the law, decided i needed to get him up, using a bottle of water i proceeded to pour it on his face, still he would not get up, i then decided to pour it on his trousers which got him moving. We returned to Nick's house for bed and woke up for a Hungry Jack's before departing Brisbane for the coast and then to Sydney.
Many thank's to the boys for putting us up while in Brisbane.

P.S. Hired a car for our trip down the coast which took a couple of days. Stopped at Byron Bay, and when you're there its pretty understandable as to why its classed as one of the best beaches in OZ. Also stopped over in a place called South West Rocks, a nice small town with a quality beach. Visited the Blue Mountains before heading back to Sydney, where we met back up with Geoff, Alex and Sam, but opted against having a big night out considering we needed to be up at daft o'clock to catch the plane to New Zealand.
