1st of all, welcome, i see u r new too. (psstt… better go report at newbie or else monitor ‘catch’ u hor…)

7D package (minus 1st n last day flying, left 5D) probably will cover the 3 worlds in 3D (or 2D - 10+ yrs ago when i went in group they squeeze dream & sea world in one day)

Movie world - fun for the kids.

Dream World - great adventure rides. (thrilling for daredevils)

Sea World - other than shows, you guys might wanna get wet with water rides/play. (so swim wear’s a must, thermal ones for the kids if it’s too cold)

schellen covered pretty much on sunblock/outfit part. Night time sure get very cold as even during summer time it’s chilly when sun’s down.

Essential things:


* bring tidbits/snacks and water along (kill time when queuing) - Not sure if you need to queue during winter, last times we went were summer, so queues were pretty long.

*batteries & chargers (universal adapter too) for cam/video cam. Kiasu Tips8) : if really need to charge during day time, go cafe look for spots w/ wall plug, order drink and charge up while sipping away. Some toilets might have too!

*bring enough storage device if gonna take loads of pics n videos. (we brought along small laptop for recent trips)

F&E day:
The tour will probably cover Surfers Paradise - beaches n shopping.......

Unless it's not covered or u've not get enuff by then, spend the F&E day for some beaches @ SP, dine, shopping and visit Ripleys' Believe it or Not.

Pick up brochures/maps upon arrival @ airport or hotel reception to decide what u want to do. There are also one day trips available - all depend on ur interest, nothing as 'must' see or do, go with your heart and interests for the whole family.

(talking to myself:wonder why i can't submit long post??) :?

There's a Hinterland National Park nearby, good for one day trip. You can find waterfalls, nature walk, wildlife maybe....

Go below link for more info about Goldcoast, look under 'things to do', see if any of the reviews excites u.

You might consider travelling to Sunshin coast where there is alot of good education stuff like big Pineapple, Australia Zoo, the Ginger factory, book farm, strawberry field, Kenilworth Cheese Factory , Forest Glen Super Bee … alot to see.


You can join those 1 days tour … most likely it is available in the hotel that you will be staying …

Hi all, i’m new on this… just checking if anyone knows of a good and reputable tuition centre which holds mathematics camp.


I found one named "Extra Edge" which is organising a Maths holiday camp for the coming june hols, meant to be a crash course of sorts that covers the PSLE maths topics. it’s only 1 week and with individualized attention. The programme seems to be well thought out and for me i just wanted to make sure that my son knows all the topics for his PSLE. heard this year there’s also a new syllabus so am feeling quite worried.

The pricing for this math camp is quite cheap at $15 per hour. Anyone heard of them?

Hi,


Thks to all mums that had replied. Really appreciated. I don't know that it can be so cold that have to wear 4 layers on top! In that case how many suitcase we have to bring along for 2 adults and 2 kids??

Er, that's because I'm afraid of the cold mah. And it was my first winter. Plus, I went to Perth which would be colder than Gold Coast in winter. The 4 layers aren't that thick anyway: long-sleeved \"undie top\", long-sleeved shirt (the kind that you can wear in S'pore too), sweater and coat.

any school holiday camps that you would recommend for 6yrs old and 4yrs old? I am thinking of skate camp (cos i sent the older 1 b4), am not travelling due to the health scare, you never know yea...so camps are good, they learn something....

Some school holiday camps ideas:

1) Skate Camp - To learn rollerblading and other enrichment activities like face painting, money skills etc
