Eastern Australia Trip. Day 11 : Brisbane

-
The curtain is closing!

We were on the final day of the eastern Australia trip; how time flies. Twelve days spent would certainly not be enough! Our inbound flight back home was scheduled for 9 p.m. from the Gold Coast airport.

The Chemist Warehouse store is the best place to get varieties of fragrance. I obtained some items from the Windsor branch after checking out of the Terrace on Gregory apartment.

Then, we decided to go back to South Bank Parkland. We visited the Queensland Museum, which mostly exhibits the cultural and natural heritage of Queensland. You can judge from the pictures below...

The free admission museum also held a permanent science-related exhibition called SparkLab. A minimal fee is required for that.


Does this exist?
This creature called siderops kehli

So... Can you guess?
A family of Macropodidae and Potoroidae

Some of the pictures from the SparkLab.


We leaved the museum before noon for Gold Coast. Bye-bye Brisbane........


Heading to the Gold Coast airport, we stopped at Harbour Town Outlet for lunch. And Nu'man managed to get a Smiggle's school beg. After re-fueling our rented car, we arrived at the airport 5-hours early. Nu'man and his mom were meandering through the airport looking for souvenirs, and I just sat back and giggled while browsing through pictures that we took. Okay, folks, that's all I have for our journey to eastern Australia. I hope we will able to travel to another country in the near future, Insha Allah...

Till we travel again... :P

Our trip to Malé, Maldives, was a mix of excitement and relaxation. From smooth flights to scenic speedboat rides, we had a wonderful time exploring Maafushi Island. This journey gave us peaceful sunsets, tasty meals, and the chance to soak up the beauty of this tropical paradise.  We started our journey early in the morning at Terminal 1, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL). Our flight was scheduled for 10:20 am with Batik Air, flight number OD 293. The check-in process was smooth, and we were ready for the adventure ahead. The flight took 4 hours and 25 minutes, crossing over the stunning Indian Ocean. We landed at Velana International Airport (MLE), Male, around 1 pm local time. The view from the plane as we approached Male was breathtaking—clear blue waters and tiny islands dotting the ocean. After landing in Male, we headed to counter 13 for the Kaani Speed Boat service. It’s an efficient way to get from Male to nearby islands like Maafushi. We boarded at around 2 pm for ...
