If you're going to Brisbane and heading north to Australia Zoo but don't want to go all the way up Qld to the Great Barrier Reef, why not spend a couple of days in the area, maybe staying in Noosa and then head up to Hervey Bay for a trip out to Fraser Island? Fraser Island is drop dead gorgeous amazing and totally unlike anything you'll experience anywhere else in the world. Here's a link:

Sydney is gorgeous, but Bondi is overrated. Manly much better.
