And now it’s time to tell you about my 2 hour adventure at the gold coast :) . Well as I told you in my last post my friend and I left Byron Bay to go to Brisbane, with a little 2 hour stop at the gold coast in between. When we finally found a parking lot we changed to our beach cloths and went for the beach. After around 10 minutes in the water a wave caring lots of marine stingers just rolled in, so everybody (inclusive me) made a big run for it (manly because I really didn’t know how dangerous these things were). After the marine stingers flushed ashore the life savours began covering them with sand, so I decided to take some pictures with my video camera before they all got covered, have a look :) .

After my pictures I asked one of the life savours, and he said that these blue marine stingers ain’t that dangerous as lots of other stuff you can find in Australia, they will give you intense pain for 3-6 hours, and after that the pain will disappear slowly.
After all those marine stingers we decided to move on for Brisbane, and here I’m :) .

That was all for now folks, stay tuned for my Brisbane adventures ;) .

See ya ;)
