Gold Coast Day Six

Today we were going to have another full one day, but I decided that everyone needed to have a chill day, as everyone's window of tolerance was low. So after we slept into 10, we decided to head towards Paradise Country as Lilian wanted to go here.

If it was not for Lilian's love of Tasmanian Devils we would not have gone here, and when I got there it became very apparent that my reasoning for this was solid.

This attraction was created to rip dollars out of the international tourists by offering a "traditional" farm experience, but it was terrible. It has about 8 animal enclosures, but only a couple of them were an animal that you would see on any farmstead, and two of them were animals that were not even native to Australia.

The native animals were no different to those that were offered at our local park in Newcastle. Considering that this was also meant to be an authentic farmstead, there were limited things that you would see on a farmstead, like animals etc. They had a patting zoo, but is limited to Kangaroos.

After we had walked around there for a couple of hours, Lilian was happy that she had seen everything, including the one Tasmanian Devil that was visible, we returned to the Resort where the girls had some downtime.

At about 3pm we headed down to the café for a late lunch and milkshake before both girls hit the water park and pool until they had their fill.

Everyone is a little bit disappointed that tonight is our last night, and we have to have checked out by ten o'clock in the morning. Lucky, the girls have one more day of Theme Parks ahead of them, so we are going to start there as early as we can tomorrow.
