Twin Falls is one of major water falls in Springnbrook. The key feature of this water fall contains two water falls. Moreover, there is a walking track too! This track is suitable for most people. Last times, we have spent around an hour and half for walking to the bottom of the fall and back to the starting point.
At the end of this track, you can experience the water fall!
Besides, you can walk over a creek on this walking track. That is nice!
Getting there:
We can park your car near Tallanbana picnic area which is located at the Springbrook Road. That is the entrance of track.

If you go to Southbank and plan to have a fine dinner, I recommend Kapsali. Dinnering in Southbank can be quite expensive. But the dinner price of Kapsali is relative fair. My friends ordered a sea platter for two, that is only $34.50. It has Pawns, Oyters, Fish, Calamari and fruits.
Looks!That’s huge!!! I have tasted a bit of that. That is tasty and fresh!
Not just sea platter, I ordered Barramundi. That is very good too! A fresh taste of fish! But that is a bit expensive, $29.50.
Moreover, if you sit outside of the restaurant, you can enjoy the view of Brisbane river!
That is not bad at all!

One year ago, we got flood hit our Brisbane city. Southbank and City area are affected. Toowong, Milton, Rocklea,… a lot of areas are affected too. Even some areas have the water level at the roof top height.
This floods destroyed a lot of homes, and 33 people lost their life in this Queensland flood.
Our Brisbane people are very strong. We had a super large volunteer clean up force. According to the Wikipedia , that was around 55,00 people. They went every affected suburb in Brisbane to clean up. During this year, we are working hard to re-build. I visited some areas which are affected by flood. The most of them are restored as before the flood arrived.
Unfortunately, there are some people lost their family and not everyone can get some money from the insurance claim to re-build their home.
I think you may have Chicken Curry with Rice before. Most of times that is in a bowl. This Monday, I went to Coffee Square in Sunnybank. That is quite special, this one is in a wok. This is a good idea to keep the Chicken Curry always warm. Moreover, I like curry sauce too! That is not very hot. I recommend this one!

Today is the hottest day during this summer in Brisbane. I heard about that is around 35 degree this afternoon. I went out for lunch around 2pm. I felt my skin was burning. That is so hot. Even now is night time, I still feel very hot……
Besides of Surfer Paradise, I suggest you should visit Broadbeach too. There is a beach too. I went to there before, there is not bad, but Gold Coast area has a lot of beaches. It won’t make it special. The special things are the buildings. There are some landmark buildings in there, such as Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, Pacific Fair and Jupiter Casino.
Moreover, during these recently years, many luxury hotels and apartments built in there too! Their appearance are quite fancy. There is worth to have a look. The photo above is the one of examples.
Besides of buildings, there is a mono-rail system too! It links between Jupiter Casino and Oasis Shopping Center. You can have a ride on it and enjoy the view of Broadbeach area during the trip.
I think there is worth to spend at least two hours, or having an afternoon tea in there. There are some good coffee shops in there too!

Last night, I went to IKEA. I found that is running a post-Christmas sale. I found there was not many good stuff on a good price. Maybe, now is already January. All good stuff are already gone. Anyway, I had a good value dinner in there.Chicken and Chips again.
