Brisbane Bucket list....

Since we only have half a year left here in Brisbane, we have been putting together a mental brisbane bucket list. Some of the things on our list are not necessarily Brisbane exclusive but things that will not be on offer in  the NT. Some we have done recently and the rest we hope to do. They are in no particular order

1. Walking With Dinosaurs- Ethan loves Dinosaurs so it was his Birthday treat and a "boys" night out. Ehan was mesmerised by it and I think Brad was pretty impressed too.
2) A trip to Montville- This was a belated wedding anniversary celebration for us. Montville and the Sunshine coast hinterland has been on our list of places in south east Queensland to visit for a long time and for some reason we have never been. We decided to visit and stayed in the lovely tee tops cabins. it was the nicest weekend montville is a gorgeous town, we also did the Kondalilla falls walk too which was pretty awesom.  we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definately visit Montville sometime in the future.

3) Miley Cyrus concert- Jazzy and I had a girls night out with her friend from school and her Mum to see Miley Cyrus in concert. Since the NT don't get the big acts visit we are trying to catch as many concerts as we can before the end of the year. To say Jasmine loved it seems like an understatement, it was a great concert and it was delightful to see our girl experience such joy and excitement!
4) Again on the music scene, the amazing Aussie talent Pete Murray announced a fairly impromptu tour prior to his new album being released in September. I received an email as I am on the Pete Murray Mailing list and jumped at the chance to see hime live again- he is awesome and certainly did not dissapoint. the venue was the old museum, amazing place and it was such a great concert- Pete said that he decided to put them on as he and his new band are in the rehearsal stage and thought that it would be fun to rehearse in front of people, it was really relaxed and fun and I love his new songs- the new album is going to be a cracker I think!!!

Ok onto things that we have not yet done-
5)  a Brisbane reace day at Doomben
6) Go to the beach
7) visit Australia Zoo
8) Visit and bushwalk in Giraween National Park Stanthorpe
9) Riverfire - the whole hog- claim a spot at southbank or kangaroo point in the morning and soak up the riverfire spirit!
9) Do the Myer City Christmas windows and Santa Visit
10) visit the Planetarium
11) The Ekka!!!!!!
12) visit the Ipswich and Brisbane Art Gallery
13) A Breakfast BBQ in the park somewhere in Brissie with Family and friends. I remember going to the lions club BBQ breakies in the park when I was a child and loved it.

At the moment that is all I can think of for my Brissie Bucket list. I am more than happy to take suggestions if you have any!
