... was also nice getting away from the city for a few days and coming into contact with some of the more natural parts of Australia. I find that a lot of international travelers base their itinerary around cities. This is of course a necessity to some extent and also a great way to encounter a country's people and it's culture. However, I think it is an equally noble goal to explore the rural areas of a country, to escape the built ...

... to be mad on! With a bit of beginners luck, we made $5 stretch out for quite a while before heading home for another early night.<br><br>A leisurely day with Gemma and Elise followed with a visit to the beach for a walk and to build some sandcastles before a tour of Bribie taking in all the amazing houses on the island, most of which had been designed and built by their current inhabitants in recent years. It's very much a thriving island community with ...

... change of pace, we will visit the Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump before traveling to Lethbridge. Spend night in Lethbridge. June 8 - Prairie birding, Purple Springs, Pakowki Lake and Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park Southern Alberta is a birder's delight. It is here where the Great Plains of the Midwest end almost abruptly with the Rockies. The focus today will be grassland species including Sprague's Pipits, Chestnut-collared Longspur ...

... wombats, snakes and birds of prey before we got round to the Tigers. This is the point where the camera battery ran out which was a bit disappointing, but this was virtually our last place to visit. They were actually about to feed the tigers when we were there. This is not done in a circus fashion, they try to mimic the wild in getting the tigers to eat. This part was absolutely amazing and probably the highlight of the day. Normally Tigers just sleep ...

After the 4WD course Petra and Pascal were now just as ready for an adventure as I had always been - we were heading straight to Cooloola National Park just north of Noosa. (actually not straight as we stopped a few times in the lovely Sunshine Coast Hinterland with its picturesque villages Maleny and Montville). At the ranger station they gave us all the maps and tidal charts - the camp sites would be about 15km up the beach. And they ...

... that we saw at Manley Beach in Sydney (those could be tucked under the arm to move) - they require a lot of strength to carry. But we saw some practicing today - there are some that have two people on them - and one we saw literally putting their partner on their shoulders as they were surfing - amazing...... Wednesday 5 March 2008 - 21:42 Location: The Sebel, Noosa Heads Perfect relaxing day - superbly warm day - uninterupted sunshine. The day started at the seaside ...

... mir nach brisbane gefahren, wo ich eigentlich geglaubt habe ein hstel reserviert zu haben, dem war dann aber doch nicht so und so begann eine nahezu endlose wanderung durch die stadt, bis wir schlussendlich doch noch ein schlafpletzchen fuer mich gefunden haben. Nach dem zweiten Staebchenessen des Tages hiess es dann abschiednehmen von stefan. Hoffe er erfriert zu hause nicht gleich :)

... of several different walks. We decided on a loop track which first wound up through forest to Alexandria Bay - an unofficial nudist beach as it turns out (!!), and then to Hells Gates, offering excellent panoramic views of beaches and waves crashing against rocks on either side. The loop ...

... Having the beach so close is fantastic but doesn't help my University studies. So for the next four months I'll be finishing my teaching course and working to save as much as possible to fund the next trip. I hope you are all well and not working/travelling/partying/holidaying too hard. Lots of Love Paul. ps- those of you whop are new to the site can click back on previous entries and check them out as well as look at old photos.
