Yesterday I had a lovely lunch at the Pizza Hut Buffet Restaurant at Kirra Beach on the Gold Coast here in Queensland. I was able to use a Shop a Docket discount coupon and so saved $3 and only had to pay $8.95 for my all-you-can-eat lunch. The view out the window of the restaurant as I was eating my lunch was absolutely gorgeous! I could see the sun shining on the waves, watch the waves breaking on the sand and see Currumbin Hill, Burleigh Heads and Surfers Paradise.
