australia {brisbane and the tweed coast}

From Sydney, we flew up to Brisbane and rented the cutest little “bumble bee” of a car.

Me driving on the left side of the road = SCARRY. That's why it only lasted about 1.5 minutes ...

Brisbane is a little more laid back than Sydney—it’s a big city that doesn’t feel like a big city and I really enjoyed the slower pace.

We visited some family in Murwillumbah. Murwillumbah is located in the Tweed Valley, a very lovely area in NSW. It is such a beautiful place.

You can see Mount Warning from the back patio!

Yes, the prawns were amazing.

It was fun gathering eggs and the "girls" follow Trev around like he's their mother!

We spent one afternoon in Byron Bay. Byron is full of gorgeous beach homes, shops, surfers and tourists (aka, us!).

Mary took this photo of us and it's one of my favorites ... which leads us to the end of our time in Brisbane.

Next up, Fraser Island—the largest sand island in the world!
