lchelle Says: visit the tourist information booth - its on the beach side of david low way near the pedestrian crossing - and choose a school! they'll teach you how to read the surfing conditions, and how to handle a board. some schools even offer wetsuits for cold weather.
lchelle Says: okay, very touristy but definately worth a visit. get up and personal with koalas, wombats and kangaroos. the show in the crocaseum is the centrepiece of the day, but if you've got fair skin pick a shady spot. my english mate went home pink!
