Today we were scheduled to have a double header against the Queensland Woman’s Team. Unfortunately, about two minutes after arriving to the field, the game was called off due to a sudden downpour. But instead of just going our separate ways, our coaches organized a barbeque for both teams to get together and mingle. After a shared meal of hamburgers and hot dogs, we took the coach around downtown Brisbane for some sightseeing along the river. Exhausted, we returned home, and hit the hay early.

Today we had an early start with a hearty breakfast and a long bus ride to a 9:00 am ferry to Stradbroke Island where we had scheduled a day filled with snorkeling and sea kayaking. We were divided up, one group participating in the former first and then switched after lunch to the latter. Kayaking was a fun experience, especially if you were lucky enough to have your kayak tip. Upon returning to the shore, we walked to lunch at a restaurant called Seashells for a delicious meal. Next was snorkeling along the shore line, during which some very interesting fish and coral fixtures were observed. Once we were finished, we all decided to test our bravery and jump off the various levels of the dock into the ocean below. Finally we all made our way back to the bus for the returning ferry ride back to the main land, and the drive back to the Gold Coast.
