Brisbane

Friday we left early and went to the John Deere in Brisbane. We were spoken to by one of the executives, along with the marketing managers and graduate program students. It was a really interesting program that was given. THe presentation was mainly for the marketing students but it was informational for everyone, and our group had some really great questions for them. The Gators (4 wheeler cars) driver is on the left side when their drivers of cars are on the the right side. They had never thought about it, never needed any legal restrictions nor ever had any problems with it. just thought that was interesting. After the presentation we drove around Brisbane and got some great views of the city and river. We checked into the hotel for a little relaxation time, aka nap time- for me. Then went to Scream World Theme Park. It is only opened at night 4 times a year and is called Scream World, when during the day it is Dream World. We had a lot of fun on some awesome Aussie roller coasters. The park closed by having a DJ at the front and a laser show.

Saturday we went to the Steve Irwin/Australia Zoo. This time we saw the Tiger talk/show, feed the elephants and saw the otter talk/feeding. We had a lot of fun with the group. That night we went out the Brisbane clubs and had a good time.
Sunday consisted of going to the local Brisbane markets, hanging out by the pool by the river/city, and shopping at the Gold Coast outlets.

Great weekend in Brisbane!!
