Moments that never made it to the blog #4: December

Hi everyone! Here is a long overdue blog post covering some things I got up to in December.

Burleigh Heads Beach

Earlier this month I headed to Burleigh Heads with my oldest friend for the day.  I absolutely love Burleigh. In fact, it’s probably my favourite beach that I have explored so far on the Gold Coast. The water is always perfect and I find that it is not nearly as crowded as some of the other neighbouring beaches (which of course is a plus).

Burleigh Heads beach also offers great walking tracks and even a national park, making it the perfect place for a summer day filler.

South Bank Christmas Markets

Last week I headed to the Christmas markets in South Bank. Even though they are no longer on as Christmas is now over for another year, I thought I would still post about it as they are a yearly event!

The strip of Christmas stalls were located right next to the South Bank pools, making it really easy to get to. Not only were there stalls offering great gift ideas, there were also stalls offering delicious Christmas themed treats.

The markets were dressed in the most enchanting assortment of Christmas decor. You couldn’t help but be plunged into the Christmas spirit with all the fairy lights and Christmas trees around every corner. Everything was so luscious and vibrant, making a trip to these markets perfectly suited for the festive season. I will definitely be back here next year!

A trip to the Brisbane Gallery of Modern Art

If you’re from Queensland, you know that summers here can be deadly. The combination of the unwavering humidity and the blistering heat make it difficult to do a lot of things during the day.

 However, if you’re desperate to beat the heat, heading to the Brisbane Gallery of Modern Art might just be what you’re looking for.  I went to the GOMA last week and its definitely a great option. One of its main advantages is that its free to enter- so why wouldn’t you go?! Its located right next to the Cultural Centre and State library so its also super easy and convenient to get to. 

If you’re more of a creative and artistic person this place is just for you. As someone who personally isn’t awfully interested in art, I still found the GOMA to be enjoyable! I suppose what I liked most is that I rarely go to galleries, so it was fun to do something out of the ordinary.
