Da es in den Tagen zuvor kräftig geregnet und gestürmt hatte, hat das ...

... blue sunny day...gorgeous. Can't believe everyone was complaining about how cold it was (Sweet Jesus...they should go to New Zealand and live in a van for a week). After a few hours of this and not quite reaching the destination I turned back and headed for the local shopping centre for a wander. Then walked back Corrumbinand met up with Belinda. Chatted to some of her work mates. One thing of n ote is that the Aussie's really do call the English Pommes. I always ...

... in hand - I was also in with one swede who had eaten too many hash cookies and was feeling a little worse for wear. We all had no idea where he got them from, or how many he had, but he was lieing on his bed grasping his stomach in pain and asking for someone to call an ambulance!! The paramedics came, and the next time I saw him was at 6 in morning and he was fast asleep. Go figure!? That night I ended up having a ...

... versus fly? Do we go north or south? How much driving do we want to do? Do we rent a campervan or a car? We were still in Sydney and had not booked anything when after much deliberation and advice from some new friends we decided to shorten our road trip plans and fly up to the Gold Coast - drive a car up to a town name Mackay near the whitsunday islands - and fly to Melbourne. This would allow uso to spend mo re time in fewer places, do less driving, spend less on ...

... talking about?" So, I look at the picture and Brand pulls an "FHM" on me and sneaks in the picture!!! I was laughing hysterically for about 5 mins. Now that I look at the picture, I also see a guest star in the mustache guy that I'm not sure if he's in costume or not. Look how serious he is! That guy means business!








After we left Supanova ...

... right now). It comprises a good kilometre or two of what used to be industrial land that we prettied up for the 1988 World Expo, held in Brisbane. In this sense it is quite similar to Darling Harbour in Sydney, also refurbished for the Bicentennial celebrations in '88. Southbank is now full of museums, art galleries, flash shops and restaurants. The unique feature though is the man-made beach that has been constructed - sand, water and all - so the ...

... fear of getting wet, I managed to convince Belinda that it was worth another ride; "it's more efficient to get wet again now than once you've dried off". Moving throughout the park we stopped to inspect the park's ex QR C17 steam loco display, viewed the official Matrix Exhibit, rode the Lethal Weapon inverted coaster (ouch my ears!) and Batman: The Ride 2. We also took the time to catch the Police Academy Stunt Show although we ran out of time to enjoy the Shrek 4D ...

... i asked him if he wanted to join us for a run: "i'd rather be tortured Jack"!.......so thats a no than matt? The last week that we have spent in Brisbane has been great fun, but none the less, does lack a beach! It will be good to move on on Tuesday to Noosa where apparently, the scenery is beautiful....and has a beach!! Also it will be a good break for us lads to rest after all the work weve done. HAHA. Hope all are ok and will forward to writing again soon, jack and Andrew xx
