Another great video thanks guys! We used GoBoat for a family birthday last month and I can say that it was a lot of fun. But a word of warning, they are the slowest boats that we have ever been on and for our 2 hour hire period we only made it about half way to the Powerhouse. Admittedly we were a group of 8 adults so that may have made a difference but our highest speed was around 2 knots, slower than walking speed. But it was a great experience and like you we can highly recommend it.

[@travelforphoebe]

hahahahah that's so true! They're very slow and you just kinda put along - the risk of crash is minimal hahaha I imagine it would be very slow going packed with 8 adults too. So glad you still enjoyed it! Definitely something different to do, huh! Thanks for watching, Mark. Have a great week. P xx

[@goboataustralia4555]

Mark - you will be pleased to know we've just completed an upgrade on all our Breakfast Creek boats so they travel approx 50% faster! Especially useful when against the tide (the boats previously ran about 4 knots in a slack current). They'll never set speed records, but you'll get a lot further now in your two hour booking :)

[@tjt6999]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but honestly you would definitely be mistaken for hollywood star Blake Lively. Great video💯

[@nortr0n91]

Totally! My first thought too!

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh my gosh! Thank you! You're so kind - I was feeling a bit self-conscious about how I looked in this video and your comment just pushed all that out of my mind :) Really appreciate the kindness! Have a great day - Phoebe xxx

Phoebe i love your energy and vlogs. Please keep them coming! Where do you get your lovely dresses in Brisbane ? Would love to know xx

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh, thank you so so much! I really appreciate it :) I started my own online shop for this very reason haha I buy most of my dresses as we travel or find them at thrift stores which isn't helpful for other people so now we have our own shop (I'll include a link for you). I also have good luck at TK Maxx from time to time! Here's the shop link: littlegreybox.net/shop/ Phoebe x

Hi guys. It goes both ways. Your videos were a ray of light when things were a bit more grim. They became a Sunday morning tradition for us along with coffee and a bacon sandwich. Brisbane looks amazing by the way!

Hey Phoebe and Matt, You guys have a lot going on in your own backyard. A wealth of information you are. Love the music. 💖love you guys💖 Sending you lots of love💖💖 Jim and Harriet

[@travelforphoebe]

We sure do!! Brisbane is such a livable city and so much to see, do and eat around the place :) Thank you so much for all the love and support. Love you both too! P x

[@FelixCattenstart]

Love the Captain's outfit. This is a much better way than taking the CityCat as we did. New Farm Park was gorgeous, especially that tree. Gotta miss my Aussie trip, this brings me so much flashbacks 🥺. Let's hope Australia opens up again for tourists in 2022. How does it feel to be eating seafood again? Japanese AND Mexican at the same time? Those combination of flavours would be indescribably delicious 🤤. I love spicy food too, but currently dealing with the FODMaP diet, so for now easing with food, and go with trial and error to see what is causing my bowels to be upset, apart from stress. It's definitely true that your community is here for you, at least that's the case for me personally. You have always been here for me, so I will always come back to see you guys. Thanks for this weeks' video and have a great week ahead 🤙

[@travelforphoebe]

Yes!! Way better than the City Cat, right? You can take your time, stop at spots if you want to and no other people - so cool! Oh no, I'm so sorry your tummy has been giving you grief. I went through the same thing for many years, Felix. It's terrible. It's how I ended up fully plant based. Feels good to be eating seafood again but I gotta take it slow, if I eat too much I get sick. Tummy trouble is a difficult one to work through, that's for sure. Hope you figure out and start to feel better very soon. Phoebe xx

Hi Phoebe and Matt. great vlog . i get envious this time of the year. 10.30 pm and just above freezing plus one celsius and the wind is howling here in the UK..and it is nice and warm in Australia.keep safe.

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh gosh, I remember that weather! I felt really confident when we moved to London but those short days, the cold weather and gloomy skies were too much. We're so spoilt down here, even in winter it can be 'cold' and the sun will be out, blue skies and sunshine. I'll package some up and send it your way :) Have a great week ahead. Phoebe x

@@travelforphoebe I'm sure we will. We even will be going to Longreach, because of your video and take a detour through Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Also stay longer in Brisbane to check out the region. Final destination: Port Douglas and Cairns. :)

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh my gosh - okay, that is the most amazing itinerary. I am SO happy you're going to Longreach, it's the heart of country Queensland. The best way to experience it is to find ways to connect with the locals, so I hope you're able to do that. We really loved Smithy's Outback dinner and show - it was so much fun and so uniquely Queensland. Congrats on pulling together such an EPIC itinerary, you've honestly nailed it!!

[@Kath123]

It's changed so much since there 3yrs ago! I don't think the GoBoat existed; maybe; it was there and because was only passing through to go elsewhere I never noticed. Hoping to revisit in 2023. I'm wanted in Tasmania for a long weekend; but; a friend from there has just sent over 10 pictures of her adventures this month in the hills, in the snow! Yuck!!! Bring me sunshine, it's winter here, and are sick of hearing the whistling wind, rain and in general stormy weather. No power last night; so; are catching up before going to work; oh to be in Australia; and my working day to be finished :) .
