Johnny Rockets opening tomorrow

So, saw a FB post about Johnny Rocket opening tomorrow (Emporium) in Fortitude Valley. Any of you guys planning to go there? The shakes look good…and need an alternate burger joint to replace Bens for lunch. I like Ribs and Burgers and Bob’s Corner burger, but one can never have enough burgers and shakes… https://www.facebook.com/johnnyrocketsau submitted by /u/siddsm [link] [comments]

Any places to buy a miniature giraffe?

My mum has a small, tasteful miniature giraffe collection (miniature as in 5-20cm height for the animal). It’s her birthday soon, and I’m looking to buy her another one. They can be made of anything – plastic, china, wood, glass, paper, metal wire etc. Anyone know places around Brisbane that would sell that kind of stuff? submitted by /u/harrrrry [link] [comments]

USS Ronald Reagan, Tour!

Hey folks, saw a heap of posts earlier in the week asking for the best place for photos etc, so I figured I’d go aboard and get you guys some real photos. Here’s my wee album and here are some gifs of the elevator going down and up (fast!). We were really limited on where we could go for this tour, mainly the hangar and maybe 1/3 of the flight deck. It’s a shame because when the George Washington came last time, the Mess Hall, living quarters etc were partially open to the tour. Some take aways, the ship is incredibly large, as are the planes. Even going in knowing they’re big, they’re bigger. If you guys have questions etc, ask away 🙂 submitted by /u/TroubledViking [link] [comments]

Hello Brisbanians. The missus and I are hoping to get away for 4-5 days in September and forget about the rat race for a while. Being an immigrant from Victoria, I’m not too au fait with the holiday/BnB options around the place aside from sunny/goldy coast. Airbnb is not very helpful and any kind of google search is polluted with wotif/hotels.com bullshit. Hopefully my fellow redditors can give me a hand. We have some specific criteria for a place to stay. If the place can meet one of these two requirements we’ll be happy : + right next to the beach (less than 5 minute walk). + outdoor spa/jacuzzi with a view. Naturally we would be super happy with accommodation that satisfies both. Although we would prefer to be within 4 hour drive of Brissy, we are willing to fly as well, as long as the whole thing (accommodation +
