... Das Ärgerlichste war, dass das Surfboard keine Leg rope (Beinschnur) hatte und bei einer Welle hat es mir das Board weggerissen und ich schwamm auf ein mal mitten auf dem Meer rum, während mit eine Welle nach der anderen über dem Kopf zusammen brach. Anfangs dachte ich nur: Mist! Das Board! Dann war ich aber doch leicht besorgt um mich selbst. Habs aber ganz gut raus geschafft und Logan ist dem Board hinterher geschwommen. Danach sind wir ...

... diesem Abend eingenommen wurde, wird den Opfern der Brände bei Melbourne gespendet. Am nächsten Morgen musste ich leider VIEL zu früh aufstehen, da sich die deutsche Fraktion der QUT um 8 Uhr am Bahnhof treffen wollte, um dann für's Wochenende zur Gold Coast zu fahren, um dort die Quicksilver Pro 2009 zu sehen. Letztendlich waren wir zwölf Leute aus Deutschland, Mexiko und Norwegen, die sich erst einen Abteil im Zug teilten und später (leider?) auch das eine ...

... Straenden, tuerkisblauem Meer und sogar einen Delphin gesehen. Nach einem kurzen Abstecher nach Coolangatta haben wir uns in Burleigh Heads niedergelassen. Dort sind wir bei Nacht am Strand entlanggelaufen, sooo schoen.... Und zum guten Abschluss des Tages haben wir ein leckeres BBQ gemacht mit Wuerstchen, Zwiebeln, Paprika und einem leckeren Salat. Wie sich's gehoert hat der Mann das BBQ gemacht und die Frau den Salat =).

... so the mission continued (but with some caution on my behalf). The spider in question was a huntsman..pretty big fellas and quite aggressive. Sheridan told me a story of when he was cleaning his bike and grabbed an old rag hung over an outside chair. After a few minutes he felt something on his chest, looked down and lo and behold there was a huge huntsman sitting there giving him the eye of death (shiver). After watching Sheridan swing around the attic and everywhere ...

... I took Shawna with me. It took me awhile but I eventually found what I was looking for and then headed back to apartment. When we arrived back, Kodi, Celeste, Noah and I headed to infinity, which is like a maze with all these different rooms where you have to imagine like you are inside a computer and things like that. It is a fantastic experience. When we had finished at Infinity we headed back ...

Hello everyone.. So last week kicked off nicely with Melbourne Cup Day on Tuesday 06th November. Melbourne Cup is the Aussie's version of Ascott (horse racing). It's a massive celebration over here and all of New South Wales get the day off. Up here in Queensland we don't though. So Chris at work organised a massive lunch for everyone for us all to celebrate. Chris and I set off at 8.30am and headed over to Coles (supermarket) to collect our meat platters and cheese platters that ...

A som opat na Gold Coast. Po kratkej zastavky v Sydney, kam by som sa mal este o niekolko dni vratit, pristavam ponad slnecne plaze Queenslandu a predpoludnajsich surferov na vecne vyhriatom Gold Coast. Moze sa to zdat divne, ale aj v Australii je niekedy zima. No teda, zalezi ze kde. V Sydney bolo dnes rano o siestej 12 stupnov. Ale to je studeny juh ...

... scared the hell out of me. I would have died. However, there were some pros there surfing and they made it look easy. Because of this two week, yearly event, Coolangatta has become somewhat commercialized. Skyscrapers line the beaches and shops and restaurants plague the streets of this tiny city. However, it was still better than Surfers Paradise (I will get to this in my next entry). We stayed in a YHA right ...

... ride's entrance? It was still not ready for guests, despite the park having been open for a good 15 minutes already. To kill time we decided to ride Reef Diver, a ride with a name that suggests going underwater, perhaps seeing some sea life. Fitting in with my "lame" classification of this area, this ride has nothing to do with diving or reefs, it is simply a spinning ride that goes vertical to show the world how wonderful centrifugal force is. Spun like ...

Well what a craic the last 10 days has been. The detox went according to plan for a change. Worked my way up the coast to Hervey bay via Noosa with not one drink, felt a sense of achievement, however i was on my 4th set of antibiotics in 4 weeks for an ear infection. I am the reason holiday insurance is so expensive. Arriving at Hervey bay i lost my phone for 4 days as i left it on the bus. However i think i am doing well so ...
