Burleigh Heads

Another beautiful day - another trip to the beach! This time to Burleigh Heads on the southern end of the Gold Coast. This is the view from our spot, looking up the coast towards Surfers Paradise.




Auntie A took the opportunity to take her brand new surfboard out for a last ride on the waves before she had to head home to Switzerland.



Again, looking up the coast towards Surfers Paradise



Hanging out and enjoying some special time with Auntie A.



Our little Pirate - reading up on different species of fish and looking out for his ship.



Even Pirates need a drink sometimes.



Just some photos I like.

Seaworld

A's last weekend in Oz so we headed to the coast to spend the day at Seaworld.



Welcome to Seaworld and walking through the park working out our plan for the day.





First stop Sharkbay where you can touch the cute starfish and watch the sharks from behind the safety glass.





Koboshi loved the Dolphin show especially when they jumped out of the water.




Lunch for the crew; emptying our wallets but loading our guts for the afternoon session.




Koboshi loves to get out and about, here he is watching the ski show.



The Seaworld ski show.


A and K on the pirate ship ride. Seaworld doesn't have many rides but we did them all.




Ka and A on the Seaworld Eye and looking down towards Surfers Paradise.



K stayed down below to look after Koboshi.


After many hours of fun in the sun it was time to bid Seaworld farewell and head for home.

Sven's big day out!

On Sunday it was Sven's biggest day of the year: the RSPCA Million Paws Walk in Brisbane.


The crew is in the car, ready to go - Sven to the MPW and Koboshi to see his grandma.






At the starting point where hundreds of dogs wait for the walk to commence. I think we are still a few paws short.





We are on our way... together with about 3000 other dogs and their owners!






It was a perfect day for a walk - K, A and Sven enjoyed it heaps!!!




A little drink break along the way




After the walk. Sven was exhausted - more from the excitment then from the 3km walk...



Sven enjoys a cuddle with auntie A



Tired and happy! And finally the centre of attention! Only 364 days to go until the next MPW!!!
