Not sure exactly what plane this is but the show he put on was excellent - loop-de-loops and all!
Kites, kites & more kites...
And some more!
The Coastal Patrol boat went up and down the coastline with this massive kite
And even added a diverThe wind eventually died down so we headed for home. We decided to take a quick detour at Indooroopilly shopping centre to watch the new Wolverine: X-Men Origins movie. BRILLIANT!!!
Sunday saw us heading off to New Farm to the Brisbane Powerhouse Arts Centre. We walked around the massive New Farm Park for a while and then headed for the Powerhouse for some lunch. They have free entertainment on over weekends which is great. The first one we went to see is called LiveSpark - up and coming Brisbane indie rock/pop bands. Okay, so the first band nearly blew us out of the venue, but the 2nd band was good. Just a pity that they don't advertise who the bands actually are.
The second show we went to was LiveWired - stand up comedy - both local & national. We were lucky enough to see Dave Thornton.
What a fabulous evening's entertainment!

After the bands had finished playing, Scott managed to get us a table right near the front for the comedy line-up. Me having a beer!

I love your blogs, its always like re-living the experience.
I love kites. Those are so nice. Hope to witness something like that someday.
While your post was ages ago, I too was at the kite festival. Was it only me who noticed the irony of a stingray kite and diver kite on the same bit of string (particularly so close to Australia Zoo??)
