Tamborine Mountain & Broadbeach

Before I explain the rest of the pictures, I have to mention this first picture!  My mom sent me a package of goodies from home, which I opened while I was Skyping with my mom (a box full art supplies, jewellery and cards) Getting things in the mail never gets old!!!  Let me tell you, I was pretty excited to see the box full of things from home on my doorstep last week!  Thanks Mom & Dad! :)

This past weekend, James and I went on a day trip to Tamborine mountain, which is about an hour south of Brisbane, as well as Broadbeach, which is directly east on the Gold Coast.















The Skywalk bridge on Tamborine Mountain.  It's difficult to convey the height we were at, but it was like walking along the top of the rainforest - cool to see the trees from a different vantage point.
Doesn't that vine look like a snake? Don't worry, it isn't.
Hoop Pine - when you see this tree from the side, the branches come straight out, thus appearing like a hoop
