Brisbanites!!!

Ouch! Not nice at all. But it's not nice to call your father such a name either Jim

Nevertheless, I think all major cities have some people in them who ought to be locked away until they change their ways.
I remember being followed home from my Xmas job when I was in High School. The streets were darker then. I turned and walked into the first house I came to and knocked on the door & called out..."Yoo Hoo everyone! I'm Home - and call the cops...there's a man following me!!" Next thing, I heard running steps down the street - I learned how fast bats would leave hell in that moment...

sorry, but saying something like that is showing yourself to be a moron (your dad I mean, Jim, not you)...

And I got out of their quick smart (one of the comments made at Surry Hills, another in the middle of the city and another near Darling Harbour/Rocks area)...

Yes those extra comments really clears things up...lol....

I've had heaps of problems with my dad...he is so ignorant, he demands respect and status, and for all the things he has done...he doesn't deserve it.

I tell him, follow Jesus in the true path and his way and I'll respect you...but he chooses money and the prosperity gospel

 

[Bevlina]

The prosperity gospel Jim!!! I know they've made one up, but Jesus said "Take up your CROSS and follow Me" The cross is an instument of torture and death!!
I don't believe in any prosperity gospel. The 'name it and claim it is away with the fairies.
Jesus never promised us it would be an easy road!

 

[Icystwolf]

There is deeper theology into that, that I would require to go with you one on one to understand that...

But thanks be to God that Jesus will be arriving to judge the world....

okay back to original topic, sandgate, shorncliffe and redcliffe, are nice seaside places to visit in brisbane. sandgate and shorncliffe can be accessed by train.
there's brisbane forest park near enoggera i think , it has walking trails and stuff. new farm park is a nice place to walk around and they used to have huge trees to climb.

and you can see pictures of the valley fire at www.brisbanecitychurch.com

 

[Bevlina]

I cannot believe the photo's of that fire schmiz!! But...on the positive side, this is when the people truly get together to build the church back again, and become firmer friend and there is a closer fellowship. God Bless them!

sasch - have you been down south a bit? The natural arch is pretty awesome, very beautiful and great place for a swim. went a few months ago with a youth group and you can jump from up high in this big hole where the waterfall comes down.... a bit on the chilly side though. Luckily a ranger stopped us from doing it cause hypothermia was rapidly setting in!

other than that - O'rielleys - where you can walk in a tree-top boardwalk, and then climb to the top of this massive tree with a platform near the top.

Moreton island is awesome, but i'm sure you've been there. going camping there this weekend! cant wait!

ummm... glasshouse mountains and maleny - you've probably been there also.

There's some cool spots at Mt Tamborine - including this place called thunderbird park where you can go horseriding. Never done that but would love to give it a crack.

Mt Warning is great as well....

ok i'll stop now.

yeah the fire did major damage, but there is quite abit of stuff that didnt get burned in the fire (as you can see from the pics) and the sound desk didnt get burned!! (im a sound man if you didnt know, so i love sound equipment )

 

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

Ok,

I've been to ALL the places you've all mention but thanks anyway!

I guess I should go to Shorncliffe/Sandgate again - don't go their much

Sasch

ps. I'm omniscient about Brisbane

Jayden! Welcome to CF!! Sasch...Jayden...have you placed yourselves on our CF map yet?

 

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

How the heck do I do it???

Sasch

ps. Jayden is a nice boy

 

[Bevlina]

Quite easy honey!
Clik map on the top of the page.
Clik Australia.
turn the map to where you want it in QLD.
clik the top button (I think it's 'load user details)
click the button on the bottom
click where you live.
load!

It gives details when you go to the map honey! Enjoy!

 

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

Thanks Bev,

I'm on there now!!! YAY!

Sasch

 

[Bevlina]

Good girl!!!! Now...we are starting to fill up Australia! It was looking a bit unexplored....

 

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

Yeah - bit disjointed...

Might get my friend Mrs A (if she's still reading the thread) to log on and announcer herself

Sasch

 

[Bevlina]

Oh please do Sasch!!!! Please do!!

 

[jayden80]

thanks for the welcome bev! this forum is pretty impressive, and from your posts you seem like such an awesome lady! and sasch, shucks thanks. i think the same about you (maybe except for the boy bit... hmmm).

But as for your claim of an infinate knowledge of brisbane... i'll come up with something... i'm not done yet! Gotta run though cause i havent packed for moreton and the ferry leaves in a couple of hours.... ie:

No packing + still at work + ferry leaving 6.30 = AAARGH

Hi

Have you tried a day trip to Mt. Glorious. If you like bushwalking and getting some clean fresh air, this is the place. Plenty of picnic areas and BBQs.

 

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

I have been there before (my usual late night drive when I need to clear my head - and I had one fantastic birthday picnic in the back of the car at about 930pm a couple years back), but I should go again - it was fantastic
