Miguel Jazz Band

Took Laurita down to the Queensland Performing Arts Center on Saturday for the “in stitches” comedy festival. Saw a few bands including a rad Jazz band called Miguel, I love Jazz, and these guys were such cool cats.

We saw some pretty good acts as well, including some “boylesque” which as a straight man was a little messed up but I had to mention because of the guys obvious talent.

It was also a freeezing night, but we sat near one of those big gas heaters :) a little wine, and it was all good.

Also, almost forgot, check out the flashmob video I saw that the in stitches guys did in the Queen St Mall:

South East Queensland, Northen New South Wales Trip

A few weeks ago, I decided to take Laura for a trip down south (of Brisbane) and show her around.

I drove the car down the south east coast of Queensland, starting at Coolangatta, all the way to Byron bay, stayed in a backpacker hostel, had a few drinks, then got up early and watched the sun rise at the Cape Byron Lighthouse. We had a great Breakfast in the town, and then kept going back north. I had spotted the top of a huge mountain and had decided to climb it so took a detour, little did I know but that was the infamous Mount Warning, It took about 4 hours return, and about 4 days to get over it. The view was spectacular, I have a new love for the Tweed Valley. Mount Warning is the center of the whole of the SEQ/NSW border area, It was one giant mountain until it eroded and just left the Volcanic core. We also went through Natural Bridge into the cave and looked at the waterfall. Beautiful.
