Queensland

We arrived in Queensland on the 26th September 2013 where we house sat in Ipswich and had some great days out in Brisbane. Then we left to go to Western Australia on the 29th October 2013. We returned to Queensland on the 5th December 2013 to house sit at the Gold Coast for Christmas. We left again on the 6th January 2014 to house sit and sight see in New South Wales . We came back to Ipswich on the 3rd February and left for the ACT on the 20th February!

Queensland is our favourite state, mainly because of the weather, but also because it feels the most 'Australian' to us.
