Breakfast Creek Hotel Brisbane

... as good - and it wasn't long before questions were asked 'why are we here?'. Giz was not enjoying her work (positively repulsed more appropriate!), and I was having moral conflicts from day dot. And so - we asked ourselves "what do you do when you've decided you don't like you job, and you're living in a city you're not passionate for".... well that's easy - you quit, and book a 6mth overseas adventure!! Yeeahaa!

... cleaning the van, the awning or the caravan itself throughout the day! By the amount of washing on the line, to be a true caravaner you bring all your curtains, duvets with you and wash on the sunniest day!! anyway all is well and hats off to the billions of campervanners they seem a happy, clean bunch!!
We have met up with Granddad Bill and his son again, we assured him that we were not stalking them!! Have swooped emails and have ...

... they had some scandal which they called UteGate. That is funny because a ute is a truck! I never understood it fully, but it had something to do with the auto industry and some alleged email that the prime minister supposedly wrote to some people who worked with him. Only in Australia could they have a UteGate scandal! It was later decided that the email in question was, as the prime minister (Kevin Rudd) repeated over and over, a fake ...

... Beach. We went to the RSL (Oz's version of the working mens clubs) and saw a Queen Tribute Band, we ate far too many Easter Eggs and Mel introduced me to Cold Rock Ice Cream and Sizzlers! I had the most fun five days of my trip! It went so quickly, and before I knew it I was waiting to board a plane back to Sydney!

... where we meet in this amazing room and have hands on learning and debates. It's great, and the room has about $2.5 million dollars worth of technology in it. UQ deems it "the lecture hall of the future". Of course it's all experimental and there's still some bugs, but overall, it's amazing! But I digress... I think that Paige and I might try to take a few big trips together, including around Australia (with Jess) and maybe to Fiji (with Sarah)? We'll have to see how ...

... if little risky) time to get a trim - only $10 so what could possibly go wrong.....

We were both fine - Daisy was there for quite a while but we were both pretty pleased. I'm not sure how many people's hair 'Cherie' had cut, but she did a stellar job. My hair was approaching shoulder length and was not really ideal in the heat so it was nice to get a bit of a trim. Feeling good we popped into Myer for a sneaky ...

Die darauffolgende Nacht war leid** etwas kurz, da ich **stens **st gegen 1:30 Uhr im Bett war und zweitens meine Zimm**nachbarin die ganze Nacht durchgehustet hat. Gegen 6:30 habe ich mich mal umgedreht und gesehen, dass sie aufrecht im Bett saß, ab** aus un**klärlichen Gründen trotzdem weit** im Zimm** blieb und Sabrina und mich mit ihrem Husten wach hielt. Es war ab** Sonntag und trotz d** schlechten Wett**vorh**sage ...

... stage it looked like we'd get bogged down in the softer sand with the boat on the back of the 4WD weighing things down. However with the revs high and the engine heat gauge going into the red we made it back onto hard ground after driving for as far as the eye can see along pristine white sand. The island was stunning, with terrific beaches and a laid-back feel. A great adventure. On our last night we hit the bars in Brisbane with ...

... and it didnt seem that busy ...... 2) about an hour down the coast from cairns - cant really pin point it to one place i just loved everywhere we passed on that day of driving ...... 3) Adelaide we had only heard bad things about it and I dont understand why, its a really nice place and the weather was good ! Least Favourite place ...
