Jour 42 :

Je pense que j’ai omis de vous parler de mon voyagement entre Hervey Bay et Rainbow Beach de la veille. Cette dernière ville (je dirais plutôt endroit perdu) est un arrêt obligatoire avec l’ ...

Sorry; due to having too much fun and being out of communication range and with only solar power and hiking, exploring and meeting new people we have not got the blog together yet. But we are taking notes and planning on doing it soon.

This life on the road is so far wonderful and 102 weeks to go! We are on our way to Goomburra national park for 2 days and will attend a dental appointment Monday morning in Brisbane and then off again.

... is definitely better seeing for real. I’m not quite sure what the amazement is with vast spaces of emptiness like when I was on the Ship over from Singapore and was surrounded by the vast emptiness of the Indian Ocean but I seemed to just spend the day watching the desert go by. At around the middle of the afternoon on the second day we stopped at Cook, population 5! Smack bang in the middle of absolutely nothing are a few buildings where the Indian Pacific stops to refuel and ...

... to our bank account.

Today I spent some time looking at how we could get to Surinam, French Guyana and Guyana on the north-east coast of South America. It seems that you can fly more easily from Europe, such as from Netherlands to Surinam, Paris (France) to French Guyana or Edinburgh (Scotland) to Guyana than from neighboring countries. Some of the more exotic Caribbean islands have some flights but these are very expensive too. Alternatively if we are seriously determined ...

... A few hours of bait catching and shore fishing did not result in our dinner being freshly caught, but it was fun anyway. A couple of walks in National Parks (including the near loss of Lenny when a rogue kookaburra dive bombed us all and tryed to make away with the little man), a soaking in a flash storm at Byron Bay, an enjoyable saunter around Brisbane's CBD and botanical gardens (oh and Ali buying a new 'going out' cardigan), a trip to the Australia Zoo (home of Steve Irwin), a ...

... Then we made a trip to Eungella National Park and after a quiet (and patient) 20 minutes we saw the telltale sign of a platypus: bubbles coming up from the bottom of the river [insert your favourite underwater **** joke here]. Shortly after that, and for the next 15 minutes, we were rewarded with the sight of the weird looking duckbilled platypus swimming about...Okay, check off the "spot the elusive platypus" box on our "Australian scavenger hunt ...

... over a hundred metres taller than either of these, but unless they are habitable constructs, that is, contain floor panels, they aren't considered buildings or structures, but towers. I just spent a somewhat enjoyable ten minutes researching this, ask me anything.) The views from the Q1, which is short for Queensland Number One, fact fans, are utterly spectacular. I'd love to see the apartments. The lift goes up 77 floors in ...

... as a staircase. Yet, the journey there goes through the rainforest. What's that I hear you ask - the rainforest? Well, I was suprised that Australia had rainforest too. When you think of the land down under you think Kangaroos, Sydney Opera House, the beaches, the sun, Shane Warne and the sick yellow shirts they wear for rugby. Not the rainforest. Yet, it was a really nice suprise. Something I hadn't expected at all which is always fresh to me as I tend ...
