Tamassa Bel Ombre

We left our messy roomate behind in Noosa thank god-not too fond of living with ants in the kitchen! We left early to be on time to visit the famosu Australai Zoo (thanks to the girls for the tickets which they gave us as a prez when heading off-great prez to get to save us some money-thanks girls). We arrived just at opening time to Steve Irwins zoo-the place is like a shrine to Steve the crocodile hunter who died a few years ago ...

... dark either and were glad to finally make it back! One afternoon we were walking back from the shopping mall and a kangaroo and joey ran across the road in front of us - we were amazed! Lee also saw more kangaroos whilst out running. <br><br>During our time at Peta&#8217;s we saw so much wildlife such as snakes, lizards, bush turkeys, kookaburras, parrots and of course kangaroos. It was a hard and busy week but we had experienced true Aussie living. <br><br>

... da muss man mehr navigieren. Beim Rueckweg werden eh die Plätze getauscht....<br>Denkste...<br>Auf dem Rueckweg ist sie zwar hinten gesessen, war aber schwerst damit beschaeftigt unseren quasi minderjaehrigen Guide anzubraten. So was kann natuerlich ganz schoen die Aufmerksamkeit beschraenken. Ich sitze jedenfalls vorne und rudere mir den A... ab, weil die hinten nicht und nicht angetaucht. Somit bestand der Rückweg wieder nicht aus "Delphine beobachten", sondern ...

... to US born Teri Irwin. Between Teri's "Cougar Wear"(no, I DID NOT buy any of it) and the childrens' lines of clothing, it does seem excessive even by North American standards. But in the end the proceeds are going towards conservations measures, so who are we to judge? We did feel a bit sorry for "L''il Bob" who did not seem as comfortable on the stage as his charismatic sister. However, as mentioned, the end message is a good one--protect animals' habitat. The boys were certainly ...

... and then taken over by Steve and his wife. It was really sad as his picture and wildlife messages are still everywhere. We seen his wife still working hard and some video clips of his son following in his dads footsteps, very cute! Highlights were probably seeing a tazmanian devil, feeding elephants and Kangaroos, watching a croc show in the crocoseum, getting the chance to hug a Quala bear and meeting a keeper with a wombat - lots of photos!

... to believe for us as you always associate Australia in your mind with glorious hot weather. We had fish and chips for our nightly meal, in Australia, they have many types of fish to choose from , though even the reef fish that we decided on would beat English cod anyday, though Australia's chips are not as good as English ones. Back at the hostel, we chatted with lots of fellows backpackers, most of whom turned out to be English (there really are ...

... fascinating process that I'll leave for another man to explain. Long story short: it's brilliant to hop straight in and float around in the sun. Only drawback was that Debbie managed to attract the only Leech on the island who refused to budge from her heel even when she screamed at it repeatedly. She finally noted a lack of lugs on the beast and tugged with a vengeance instead. Other highlights include our frequent sightings of Dingo's (no way are there only 150 on the ...

... broke and Paolo and I made a trip to the beach one last time. The morning rains had scared away most of the crowds but had also brought in quite a surf. The waves were much larger and closer to shore than they had been the previous days. Paolo had rented a body board (though never actually paid for it) from the apartment complex so we tooled around with that awhile until it became ...
