Broadbeach is basically at Surfers Paradise, and they are both about 15-20min from the theme parks. Not far at all.

Most of the big hotels, apartments etc are at Broadbeach.

Hope you have a great trip!

Hi All,

Just dropped in on this, Try the brisbane holiday village, and stay in the cosmo cabins, all the facilities of a hotel and only 20mins from the theme parks. It has a pool, mini golf, etc like an upmarket holiday park. Check out the website www.brisbaneholiday.com.au

Good Luck...

Ok i have booked my accom and staying in broadbeach...hopefully not to far from the theme parks.

I will be up there this weekend.....whats the weather like there atm?

Hey Fee...

well, you know, it's QLD after all - so per usual it's hot! Yesterday was 36C...but today was much cooler (29 or 30c I think) and a little overcast...even if it rains it will still be hot!

Today it's been looking like it's going to rain, but nothing yet. Good luck for the weekend.

:)

Thanks for that info....yeah i was told im going in the rainy season..lol...but i know it will still be hot n humid so all good:)

Hi

I am from queensland and I got banded last week 11/04 in bundaberg. So far coping with liquid diet. I also had my gall bladder taken out.

Hi Lucylee,

Welcome. How are you finding the band? Who did it for you maybe we had the same doc???

Hi Dionne

Dr De lacey did my procedure, only problem I am having is 13 days post op, swelling has gone down and I feel like i can eat anything. Got approval to go to vitamised early, but tried some soft casserole tonight and it went down no problems. I am being careful measuring out only half a cup at each meal . Did you have a similar problem, when did you get your band done?

cheers

Hi I'm in Central Queensland. I was banded on 21 March 2007 and first fill was 26 April. If anyone would like to contact me if you live close I'd love to get to know some fellow bandsters from QLD.

Cheers
