Sky Walk on Tambourine……

Skywalk on Tambourine is an elevated walkway through the beautiful middle & upper canopies of the rainforest. The walkway is made of a high-tech steel structure which Marty appeared to be more interested in to begin with, questioning its construction of course, & pointing out how few bolts they have used just to make us all feel safe!!!
The walkway takes you down to the lower canopy & invites you to venture off the path to a stream & rockpools. They have provided plaques along the way with local history & wildlife information. Then you arrived at the Cantilever, a 40 metre long span soaring 30 metres above the valley,
“Oh look says Marty there are only 2 bolts holding it at this end”!!!
Pfffft whatever……..The views are spectacular……..

This is the 2nd time Marty & I have visited Tambourine, they have some groovy, arty shops that are fun to visit not only due the fabulous things they sell but also to the ‘characters’ that run them , including a fairy shop where the staff dress up as fairies, face paint & all!!!

Marty & Lianne go play on the Gold Coast & ‘they’ ruined the Beer Garden!!!!

Easter weekend, although I had to work some of it we managed to get away for a couple of nights. It was a great opportunity to go to the markets on the Gold Coast & pick up some treasures……..

Marty had also booked us to go & see the Mother Africa, a dance and acrobatic musical spectacular featuring 40 artists from the many different countries in Africa - Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Egypt and South America. Combining acrobatics, juggling, contortionists (that put themselves in position that are ‘just wrong’!!!), along with traditional music and dances.
A feast for the eyes of colourful costumes and African Culture. Enough audience participation to keep us amused, & Lot’s & lot’s of laughter…..

After the show we headed into the heart of surfers to check out an old stomping ground only to find out our friends were right, they have ruined the Beer Garden?!!! The band was good but they really need to kill some of the lights to create some of the old atmosphere Still as always Marty & I had a FUN night out………
