For one of our free days in Brisbane we spent the day at Lake Somerset. The people from our group that went was me, Devin, Bridget, Brittany P, Jen, Brina, Mariah, Brady and Jared. One of my friends Matt lives in Brisbane so him, his sister Rachel, and his best friend Clinton took us there. Clinton was nice enough to bring his boat so we were able to go tubing and try waterskiing or wake boarding. The lake was so beautiful. It was pretty big and surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and mountains behind them. It was so pretty that it almost looked fake. Even the clouds were white and fluffy that day. We had beautiful weather as well. Once we got there we set up with a tent and some chairs right on the water. Clinton’s boat was only big enough for about four people but we could fit four on the tubes. First Brady, Matt and Jared went on the tubes and I stayed in the boat taking pictures. They were crazy!! They kept getting so much air off the waves and Matt was jumping from tube to tube. Also, Clinton was going so fast!! After they came back Bridget and I went on one tube while Brittany and Brina were on the other one. We asked Clinton not to go so fast for us and he didn’t but we still had a really fun time. Me and Bridget kept trying to figure out which way to lean so we wouldn’t fall off and it worked for the most part. After we were done we went back to shore and Brady and Matt were making us lunch. For lunch we had Australian sausage, potato salad, macaroni salad, homemade chips, regular salad, and onions- it was delicious!! After lunch the girls just continued to lay out in the sun while the boys went back on the boat, then Matt and Brady went wake boarding. After they went I tried but it didn’t work out so well, I couldn’t get up! But then I went tubing again and we went so fast this time and that was a lot of fun. Once we got back to shore everyone else was pretty ready to go. It was a really fun day that created many great memories and generated many laughs. It was also fun to get out and see what Australians do on their days off. It was also fun to be able to do some things that weren’t such tourist attractions.
