This morning Jess joined her Furry friends for a day of activities at the Furdu Convention which was being held across the road from our accommodation at the Mantra on View Hotel. Meanwhile, Ryan and I caught the light rail tram and bus out to Warner Bro's Movie World Theme Park. We had been here several years ago and visited a number of the Gold Coast's Theme Parks when Jess and Ryan were much younger and it was pretty interesting to see it all again and to see the changes. One noticeable thing was the much smaller crowds as it was currently off peak time and not school holidays. What a huge difference that made! We were able to see and move about with ease and without the long, long waiting lines so it was great! |
They congregated on the beach for a huge panoramic group photo which was a bit of a challenge due to the sheer numbers. There was even a Roo character called Bruce! It was great to see them all having a fun time, and the extra blessing was that the weather was coolish with an ocean breeze to help those in their fur suits which can otherwise be a huge challenge physically.
In the evening we checked out the Live Concerts and enjoyed listening to two Australian singing legends Daryl Braithwaite and the popular Jimmy Barnes!! A fun night with the added bonus of the Beachfront Market being on so we were able to check out the stalls as well!
A full on and fun day!
