🇦🇺 5-Day Brisbane & Gold Coast Family Trip

Day 1: Brisbane City Walk 🏙️ Highlights: City Hall & Museum (book Clock Tower tour online!). Queen Street Mall → South Bank (Ferris Wheel, QLD Museum, markets). Night: City Hall Christmas lights! 🎄 🚖 Taxi rant: Airport to Sofitel should cost $43, but meter jumped to $59 → card charged $79 → argued down to $69. 😤 🍕 Food fail: Falalala delivery took 3 hours – should’ve walked! Day 2: Movie World (Rainy Day ☔) 🎢 Kid-friendly rides: Tiny rollercoaster, bumper cars, carousel. ⏳ Only 3 hours due to rain – many rides closed. Day 3: Gold Coast Adventures 🌅 SkyPoint Breakfast: Views would be epic (if not cloudy!). 🤹 Ripley’s Believe It or Not!: 7D shooter game + weird science exhibits. Day 4: Sea World 🐬 Best for kids: Dolphin shows, turtle meet-and-greets, splash zones. (But Zhuhai’s Chimelong is better!) Day 5: Stormy Staycation ⚡ 🏨 Sofitel Broadbeach: Lazy breakfast → early checkout. ☀️ Sunny alternative: Beach walk or Pacific Fair shopping. 🏨 Hotels: 📍 Brisbane Sofitel: Above Central Station, near City Hall. 📍 Gold Coast Sofitel: Broadbeach – surrounded by restaurants! #FamilyTravel #GoldCoast #Brisbane #KidFriendly #TravelFails ✨
