Holiday in Australia

I went for a holiday with my family to Australia from 6 to 16 Dec. We travelled on Qantas to Brisbane. My Dad drove all the way down from Brisbane to Sydney. The route was:
Brisbane 2 nights - nothing really much in Brisbane actually. It was very quiet after 5pm, should have spent 1 night here instead.

Gold Coast 2 nights - great beaches, visited Dreamworld, Whitewater World and Movie World within the 3 days there

Coffs Habour 1 night - had to spend a night here to break the 700km journey from Gold Coast to Sydney

Blue Mountains, Katoomba 2 nights - A world heritage site, famous for the Three Sisters Rock (see my photo album). Scenery was amazing, but rainy weather clouded the great views.

Sydney 3 nights - A very bustling city. Driving in Sydney is very expensive, parking costs over $8/hour. It's a great shopping haven as well. The main shopping area, George St, is much better than Singapore's Orchard Rd. Market City have factory outlets which have great deals. We bought a New Balance sneakers for $40, Diesel sneakers for $70, RL Polo tee for $59. I had a great time here. The casino, StarCity, was cool.
