Royal Albert Brisbane

... the crocodile show, Shame Mr Irwin himself was not there, but we did get to see his family, and Bindi even fed them which was pretty cool. Had a great day in the zoo saw my first possum and dingo too, though it looked so much like a dog, im not sure i would tell the difference in the wild, i would probably just think it was a dog and attempt to stroke it, loosing my hand in the process.
A super cool day the best Zoo ever its so hands on its great!!

... and then rearranged the workbench seats on their side to make five upright "boxes", with which she filled with the five remaining people in the room. That was the installation. She took some photos and then we were done.

We saw some interesting art at the GoMA while we were waiting for the session with Hiromi. Outside was a wire structure assembled in a plane, but if you stood at a proper ...

... a job at one of them - they've taken us to Surfers Paradise where we hung out on the beach and watched them surf - Hamish (one of the guys friends) also taught me to surf lol i failed miserably - it was so scary - but i will definitely try it again - before that erin and i went knee deep into the water to try and soothe our flea bites (yes we got fleas from the boys cat lol) and we ended up just going swimming in our clothes lol its extremely hot ...

... later once we'd gotten over the shock it was clear that the kangaroos and wallabies of the sanctuary are free just to roam around as they please as they were everywhere and on constant vigilance for some going seeds. Ooops silly us.
There were also loads of crocodiles here and we watched the feeding show which was great but scary. Dan tried to poke one of them with the handlers stick through the cage but just succeeded in dropping the stick in the enclosure ...

... Australia. Generally each leaf contains 50% water and only 5% sugars meaning their low energy diet requires them to sleep for 18 to 19 hours every day! We even got to see baby koalas (joeys) being carried in their mother's pouch. We also saw a wide variety of other Australian wildlife at the sanctuary. This included relaxing with kangaroos in their enclosure, feeding dozens of noisy lorikeets (which landed on your head!), stroking dingos, watching a birds of prey show ...

Inzwischen ist es gute zwei Wochen her, dass ich das letzte mal einen Eintrag verfasst habe. Ich muss zugeben, dass es mir in letzter Zeit nicht so hervorragend geht. Seit insgesamt drei Wochen plagt mich diese Grippe bzw. dieser Husten, der gleichzeitig immer wieder mit Atemnot verbunden ist. Demzufolge fiel mir tagesabhängig einiges sehr schwer. Manchmal so banale Sachen, wie der Lebensmitteleinkauf. Und jedes mal, wenn ich mich ...

... of a single Mexican place since I've been here, this was big news! We decided that one Tuesday night we would go. And this past week, go is what we did! Matt drove me, Reuben, and Jess over to New Farm, which is on the other side of the river. We found the place, but unfortunately it was way to packed to get a seat, so we decided to try again next week. I'll have to report back on how it goes! So after we ditched that place we walked up and down the street a bit and ...

... but by this time I really was through with sightseeing and just wanted to spend time relaxing or catching up with friends. I met up with Yvonne for lunch and got the low down on her life I also managed to catch up with Marc Court, a friend from Radianz days, and had a great evening with him remembering the good old days........

Before I left Brisbane ...

... waren. Ich habe kurz angefangen zu argumenti**en, dachte dann ab**, dass es keinen Zweck hat und habe mich entschuldigt. Schön ist es trotzdem nicht, da meine Einstellung ihr gegenüb** nun etwas negativ** ausg**ichtet ist, was ich schade finde. Nach dem Mittag sind wir auf dem Cootharaba See Kanu gefahren. Uns** Guide war Kiwi, echt** Neuseeländ** also, und hatte einen wirklich lustigen Akzent. Vor lang** Weile haben wir uns mit den Paddeln gegenseitig Wass ...

... offered to drive us around the island and drop us off at the start of a coastal walk. We were quids in. The big fat Aussie, who would probably prefer to be called by his name, which was Matt, checked his tidal book and announced that he would drive us up a long stretch of beach to the headland (he had a 4WD and driving on beeches there is legal and common so don't panic mums). Once on the island on the way to the beach Matt ...
