The Queensland / Brisbane and Moreton region
Queensland's motto is "beautiful one day, perfect the next" and that really sums it up. It is currently winter in Australia and our average winter days are blue skies that go on forever, almost nil rainfall, temps in the 8-25C range and a cooling sea breeze all day.
Queensland is home to the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns, Shute Harbour. On a more local front, Alexandra Cottage is located less than an hours' drive to the Sunshine Coast, Caloundra, Australia Zoo, Maroochydore and the beautiful beaches of Mooloolaba.
Redland / Sandgate area
Sandgate and Shorncliffe are a bayside suburb of Brisbane. The waterfront has gorgeous homes, restaurants, cafe's, bike and pedestrian walk way. On top of the cliffs at Shorncliff is the famous Full Moon Hotel that has spectacular food and a vast array of gorgeous wines along with a spectacular view of the entire Sandgate/Redcliffe bay. Some of our English friends recently commented that they thought the Full Moon Hotel has a "licence to print money" - they thought it was that good!
How to get there
Emirates is usually the cheaper and better airline to fly with. We often make the trek from Brisbane to Manchester in the UK and have always enjoyed fantastic service with Emirates.
A very good hire car company in Brisbane is located on www.bargainwheels.com.au who have a range of small to large vehicles which are usually about 4-5 years of age and are generally half the normal price of the large hire companies (Avis, Hertz).

Guestbook
Bruce Family, August 2007. We really enjoyed our time in Brisbane and enjoyed our time in the cottage. It suited our family very well and was central to everythig. Thank you Janette for letting us stay there. We are planning to emigrate to Brisbane within the next 6-12 months and we are pleased that we have a contact already in Brisbane for accommodation.
August 2006 "The Clark Family, Bundaberg": "Our expectations were for a nice relaxing 'home from home' and we got it! We all enjoyed the "homely" feel of the cottage. Thanks for a great stay - we will be using you again when next in Brisbane".
August 2007 Flanagan Family, Northern Ireland. Thank you Janette - the house suited our large family perfectly.
