Oooo no, on the contrary it gave me opportunity, opportunity I …

it – it's a small ish city, with skyscrapers in its CBD (Central

Up around 7 this morning - breakfast was a "bull's eye" egg made by Auntie, toast with Nutella, and tea. Val picked us up at 9, and we set off for the Koala Santcuary. What an awesome experience.
