Ok well I won a holiday to Surfers Paradise in Australia, compliments of Microsoft. It was originally for 2 people, but because I went by myself I got to stretch it out from the original 4 days to 10 days. My Dad is also currently over there, an hour or so north of Brisbane on a gorgeous little island where it averages 30 deg every day *sigh*
Anyway I went and did all the touristy things and LOTS of shopping. Heres the Evidence :)

View inbetween sea and Surfers, if you look closely at the base of the tower with the orange stripe, you can see the Vertical Bungee |
