... s not a job I would like to have though. They have to drive, and apparently keep people entertained as well. Definitely not something I want to do. More power to them because it’s not an easy job. I think the thing I would have the most problem with is the constant talking. Don’t think I have ever spent an entire day talking all the time.

... getting settled into the sand. She works at a travel agents on the high street so we found her easily enough and had a good chat about everything we have been up to since we last saw her on Fraser Island. She gave us some brochures for New Zealand and Fiji to help with the planning for everything, she says that everything is going mental at the minute and everyone is going to Fiji for xmas and new year and all the hostels are filling up already so book ...

... home from NZ in dec - these r in my bag somewhere so i then hav to hunt around for ages looking for them. what did they think i was just going to try and stow away there and not come home. i eventually boarded the plane and had no time in departures so had to run to buy a sandwich before the plane left. i made it safely to nz and then they also wanted to c my departure tickets - i was in the slowest queue behind all the japenese who take forever but the British get ...

... pretty tired. Went through the Southern Oceans exhibit. Saw leopard seals and fairy penguins. Did a little shopping at the zoo. Tyler got some plastic penguin toys and an emu chick stuffed animal. Bought a stuffed animal dingo as a b-day present for her best friend.

Spectacular weather all day. Not a cloud in the sky. Temperature was perfect.

By lunchtime we were pretty beat. Hopped back on the ferry to ...

We met at central station and took the train out to the, very impressive stadium, catching up and sharing traveller stories on the way. The game itself was average, OZ won 2-0 which gave us ...

... quite a few people have been there over 6 months! So it took a while to get use to it but now we all feel quite at home! I met three really nice girls (Harriet, Esther and Sophie) on the bus who are also leaving Sydney tomorrow morning so I will be spending the next few days with them and then hopefully meet others travelling in the same time scale that I have! We had a lovely day on Friday in the city. Weather was ...

... her way up, who wanted to find out what the view was like. well, at first, i thought she was absolutely mad to stop us that far up from the ground, but, after a minute or so, i forgot about the height and we had a rather pleasant conversation about the view, how amazing it was that we were that far up, and how weird it was that mostly girls were attempting the climb while their boyfriends or husbands all seemed to be electing for feet firmly on the ground?! anyway, upon my ...

... Sydney now... rainy, rainy Sydney , and I'm selling Stella. I leave Australia in ten days. Ten days, everybody. excuse my French but c'est *****!! I'll write about that all another time. I'm closing everything off now while I still can (i.e. bank accounts, etc.) and Michelle took a plane up to Hervey Bay to catc up with Fraser Island çause we didn't have the time to do that on our way down. The hardest part will be ...
