Somehow I knew I was going to have fun. Surfers Paradise is much like Honolulu, it is where the Aussies go to bask in the sun at the beach. There were many sights to see, and plenty of places to shop. There was light drizzle and rain most of the 2 days we were there so our games were canceled. Our local sponsor invited us to his club one night for a dinner with his team.
Clubs are private lawn bowling clubs.
It is always interesting to talk with the locals, of any age. We spent one afternoon visiting the Carbarundum Wild Life Sanctuary where we were able to see many local animals and the flora and flana of the area. With the arrival of the sun the next day we were off on another plane trip to Sydney. Sydney Sydney is a beautiful city. Similar in size and scale, it reminded me of San Francisco.
