Gosh it looks like a dust bowl here! The weather has apparently been shocking while we were away, dust storms, super hot and not a driop of rain for a month. Lucky we brought some back with us and it rained a little the day we arrived, and more expected in the next few days.<br><br>H was home for a day and a half before he set off again, for Melbourne this time.

... to be organising transport to the gold coast and decently priced accomodation the night before we leave.<br><br>Still gotta sort out a couple of vaccinations before we head off, but apart from that we are good to go.<br><br>Speak to you all from the road soon!

... s any relation of mine (my maiden name being Webb), but you never know! Steve plays a lot of gigs with Mojo and we&#8217;ve heard about him many a time, so it was good to hear and see him for real!<br><br>A couple of days after our arrival it was my birthday and I requested a picnic by the sea as my special treat. We went for a long walk along the seafront from Redcliffe to Scarborough. It was lovely and sunny, but just a little too windy for our picnic, which travelled back home with us ...

... of canals, rivers and estuaries. Big houses with immaculate lawns sweep down the banks to the main river with expensive boutiques and restaurants lining Hastings Street. Unfortunately recent storms have washed away the main man-made beach, leaving just bare rocks and pipes exposed. So we didn't spend much time there competing for a grain of sand with all the tourists, surfers and locals and instead spent our time on the huge expanses of sand on the ...

... Three bewildered looks from the children, and one look of shock from Tracy told me that maybe I had gone too far (again!). By the way, as I now reflect on the 10 commandments, I am heartened to be reminded that none of them deal directly with just looking at Thai stewardesses (unless they are married, I suppose); · Tracy and I have become one in fake coughing at the appropriate time when James Blunt swears in one of his songs on our iPod; · And to ...

But while many will today learn their applications were not successful, blog sites and internet forums have been buzzing with complaints since the weekend, when the Tourism Queensland website crashed on the eve of the competition deadline. Efforts by Tourism Queensland to boost the server supporting the site ahead of Sunday's international cut-off date failed, as the website was flooded with more than 7000 ...

... fluff (that's a mix between a beard and bum fluff - it turns out my face is confused at what to grow.) She later said she was worried that people would think we were boyfriend and girlfriend. She's not the first girl to be worried about being my girlfriend. Yet, her reasons were somewhat different obviously. I met Joe who she's spending some time with at the moment.

... it was to literally start to walk out the door.<br><br>The next morning for some reason both Kev and I were up before dawn. Looking to take advantage of the opportunity we take off on foot along the riverside trail system. I found this to actually be one of the best ways to see the city&#8230;just as it is rising from its slumber and very close up.
