Holiday Advice

[HamaTime™]

QLD in October, plan for around 28 - 33 degrees on average every day, so pack shorts and tee's along with jeans and jumpers. Boardies, singlets, hats and sunnies are must haves too. There are plenty of good clubs and pubs around the area, so just use the same sort of caution as you would in Geelong or Melbourne when choosing!

QLD/Surfers is maaaaaaaaaaaad! Very beachy laid back attitude

harbourtown factory outlet mall on the north side of the goldy could be worth a look if ya keen to do some shopping.

best advice, go to dreamworld mid week when its quiet and go on the tower of terror, repeatedly. that thing accellerates like a doorslammer!

thanks so much boys, been some great feedback! this casino sounds like a bad idea, can already tell id be there just blowin my money aha. ye the reason i picked to go in oct is cause i cant stand 35+ plus days, id rather just kick it under a air con all day. thats why i thought it will be hotter than here in VIC but just startin to hit the 30 degree days. good temp where you dont go 'fk goin to the theme parks in this heat'

as for clothes, bought 4 new wife beaters from cotton on (they have the best beaters) gunna bring few pairs of boardies, prob 2 pairs of jeans, few tshirts, thongs and shoes. prob hit up and get a new pair of sunnies. ill think of more stuff as i go.

good point ethann, transport. wats the best way to get round up there to like the theme parks or markets? scooters are mint but can tell id get done on them haaaard lol

Yeah youll probably find it will easily hit 30 up there in October, if not a little higher, so just be prepared

Transport wise Buses go everywhere and youre pretty much dead center of Surfers Paradise so you should have no worries getting around. There are also special buses that go to the worlds. The hotel should surely be able to point you in the right direction.

Check out Southport beach (or if you can get down there Broadbeach) carpark which is pretty much opposite Australia Fair on a friday night, seeing the cars you post in POTD, you will probably jizz your pants. That is if they still congregate down there on a Friday, they crackdown on them big time around October because of Indy. I cant remember if it is Indy weekend youre down there or not, but they do Drift nights in that carpark during the Indy week.

I went QLD at beginning of this yr.

We stayed in the bigger of the 2 cavil towers. Was pretty cool.

Uhh places to go... check out Infinity... it's pretty trippy. love the Strobe room 2 XD
Didn't enjoy dracula's much... was expensive and food wasn't tat great. You go thru a lil rollercoaster ride and they do shows and all the waiters etc are dressed up scary looking. But it's something you have to do if you haven't been before I suppose.

Movie world... you have to ride Lethal Weapon... it's keeno. When we went earlier this yr they did a Stunt driver show which was pretty cool. Drifting etc. O and movie world has a Batman Simulator which is kinda cool... and a Batman giant drop thingy (goes up fast then comes bak down and back up etc). Scooby-doo ride was good 2 but lines long. Shrek 4d was kinda cool.... was Superman ride at movie world? that was sick aswell!!!

Dreamworld - think it's terror tower or something like that? goes up the side of the Giant Drop. It's hella fast.. make sure u keep ur head on the headrest or ur head gets slammed on take off XD remember to keep ur hands in the air & smile for the camera its at takeoff on ur left! Wonder if dreamworld had the motorbike ride tat was kinda cool 2.

That's all I can remember at the moment. I'll write some more if I remember.

Edit: O ye.. I've been twice on the Plan B pub crawl... first time was keeeeeno... second time was kinda crap.
