How good does the Gold Coast look??? It looks so inviting for a swim. The big E is just bloody fab too. Thanks for sharing, hope you enjoyed your stay.

Sensational pics Magican. But don't tell me you came all the way to GC and didn't go into Brisbane?!

I spy an albatross on Optus Centre (5th Melbourne pic)! A projection advertising Optus I guess? A couple of albatross (or some other animal from an Optus ad) could really spice up that blank wall on a permanent basis.
