AUSTRALIA: EXPLORING the beautiful RESORT TOWN of REDCLIFFE in QUEENSLAND
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's walk around beautiful Redcliffe which is a residential suburb of the Brisbane metropolitan area located within Moreton Bay Region LGA in the north-east of the Redcliffe peninsula, approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) north-north-east of the Brisbane CBD.
The town's name originates from Red Cliff Point named by the explorer John Oxley. Redcliffe became Queensland's first colony in 1824; however, it was soon abandoned for Brisbane. Since the 1880s, Redcliffe has been a popular seaside resort location due to its proximity to Brisbane. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com.

Dreamland Margate Scenic Railway Behind The Scenes Vlog August 2018
Join us in this exclusive video for a behind the scenes tour of the oldest roller coaster in the UK. Join Shawn as he speaks with the technical services manager at the park for a tour around this incredible wooden roller coaster. The ride was originally built in 1920 and was known to many as the Queen of Dreamland, however this ride has had a challenging history.
The Scenic Railway escaped major damage during World War II, a spate of terrible fires destroyed crucial parts of her structure in 1949, 1959 and again in 2008. Along with damage to the workshop which housed her original hand carved trains, much of the structure was destroyed. The devoted local community worked together with Sea Change and the Heritage Lottery Fund to raise funds for her stunning renovation.
Along with taking a behind the scenes look at this iconic coaster, Andrew also explains about the 8 new rides from Zamperla that have opened at the park for summer 2018.
Check out our full vlog from Dreamland Margate including on ride POV's from the new attractions here:

Shorncliffe/Places to visit Brisbane
Places to go near Brisbane- Shorncliffe Pier
This is an exploratory trip to find good places around Brisbane. This is a very good place. You can go here for short one day trips from Brisbane. Daytime would be preferred. It is great for picnic, fishing, writing if your a writer, reading. Very silent place, although people come for walking on the Shorncliffe pier. There is a great walk apart from the pier on the shore.
Hope you guys liked the video, I apologise for the camera handling. It was my first video so wasn't sure how it would turn up while editing.
Riding Leap The Dips - The World's Oldest Roller Coaster
This is a video I filmed back in 2014 of riding the world's oldest roller coaster. It's a piece of history that needs to be preserved.
Located in Lakemont Park in the city of Altoona, Pennsylvania, less than 5 miles from downtown is the world's oldest wooden roller coaster and the last remaining side friction rollercoaster, built in 1902 by the E. Joy Morris company back when the park itself was only a few years old. It was closed for awhile in the 80's and 90's for repairs but in 1999 it reopened, restored to its former glory.
It only costs $2.50 to ride, and I say it's worth it just to ride a piece of history. I'm surprised that other YouTube roller coaster shows haven't ridden the Leap The Dips. Sure, it's not as much of a thrill ride as something you'd see in Six Flags, but it just can't compare to the eerie feeling of an old rickety roller coaster that jumps off the track occasionally (which is why the camera jiggled a bit). But it's a surprising lot of fun for something built way back in 1902. Wooden roller coasters may just be a piece of history to many, but there's the Leap The Dips and also a newer ride, the Skyliner, located near the Altoona Curve's baseball stadium, which has a name so silly it sounds like it has to be made up, People's Natural Gas Field. It used to be called the Blair County Ballpark until a few years ago. I wish they would have kept the old name, the new name is just laughable.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this video of me filming a first person shot of riding the world's oldest wooden roller coaster. I'm going to try to film the Skyliner another time, but I might want to practice to get better at filming first so it looks at least semi-professional.
There's a common misconception that a roller coaster named Rutschebanen in Bakken amusement park in Denmark is the oldest, when in reality it was built in 1932. Bakken's claim to fame is being the world's oldest amusement park, opened in 1583. Lakemont Park, by contrast, only began operation in 1894, a mere 8 years before the famous roller coaster was built.
