Today will be our last full day of the trip. And our destination is Sunshine Coast. Initially the road trip was quite smooth. However, before we drove into Bruce Highway, we heard from the radio that there was a nasty accident along Bruce Highway towards Sunshine Coast.
And true enough, 20 mins later, we were hit with a massive jam that stretched more than 5km.
The jam caused us at least half an hour delay to our destination. Anyway, it's good to reach Underwater World finally.
The first section is a touch pool where we had chance to feel some sea creatures such as sea star, sea cucumber, sea urchin etc.
Then we moved to the next section which is a tunnel through the oceanarium. We had a close encounter with all sorts of sharks, rays and other fishes. There were even several divers cleaning the tunnel.
At 1pm, we arrived at the Seal Island where there was a Seal Show.
Following are some other creatures that we saw in Underwater World.
Before we left this place, there was a kid's corner where both Jerlene and Javier had some fun.
We had our late lunch at the cafe right outside of Underwater World. Javier really hated wearing shoes and he ran around the place bare footed. He's like a Kampong kid.
From Underwater World, we decided to go visit the Big Pineapple. When we reached there, we were puzzled why the carpark was closed. Then I parked by the roadside and went in to check it out. To my surprise, the whole place was deserted. When I went back to check on the internet, then we realized that Big Pineapple was temporarily closed down and there was a change in owner.
Using our GPS, we thought of going to Super Bee but we cannot locate it. And once again, from the internet, we found that they had moved out of Sunshine Coast. Fortunately we had already bought some honey from the Super Bee branch at Currumbin.
We then drove back to Brisbane city but before that, we did some suburb shopping at Chermside.
