Pacific Airshow - Part 1

We were up early and on the tram to Surfers Paradise for the 2026 Pacific Airshow! Kristy's friend & her family are visiting from the UK and thir youngest Ben had a sleepover with Clay Friday - they had a great time :)  Esther, hubby Jason and son Alex met us at the gates.

There were a heap of marquees set up in the boardwalk with STEM activities / displays and info about aviation & military careers - Clay had a fantastic time checking it all out :)

We set up our chairs and got ready for the show!  The weather alternated between sunny & overcast, luckily the rain held off until afterwards.

Dreamworld - Part 2

After Rivertown we headed back to Main Street,  then along to Ocean Parade.

From Ocean Parade we walked down to Tiger Island and were lucky enough to see the tiger walking around in the open.

Dreamworld - Part 1

We headed to the Gold Coast for the Pacific Airshow and while we are down here we decided to surprise Clay with a visit to Dreamworld.  They currently have a deal for annual passes for the price of a one day ticket, which means we can go for short periods each time we visit.  Clay was so excited when he found put we had brought tickets :)

We hopped on the train to have a look around and work out where all the different sections were.

Clay was really eager to go on the Jungle Rush coaster ride - so we headed there next.  It was Clay's first "big" coaster and it didn't go well...LOL 

Lunch was at a really cool jungle theme restaurant.

After lunch it was time for another ride - this one was much less traumatic LOL
