Sheraton Mirage Resort And Spa Main Beach

... splashed everywhere and up ahead was like clusters of glowing blue blobs on the ceiling. They looked like stars, it was amaaazzzing. We stood and stared at them for a while and then climbed back up to the car. Glow worms were a little odd, but beautiful, and the water was amazing. I saw the rainforest a bit, the amazing mountains and some giant waterfalls :) good day, but pretty exhausted! Sleep time.<br><br>xxx<br>

... in turns &amp; there was no high fence there, they were so gentle, we went onto meet the kangaroos but all they wanted to do was lay in the sunshine, even as we walked around them they did not bother to get up,then there were, guess what, yup! the koalas &amp; baby ones up in the trees &amp; we were able to stroke one he was gorgeous &amp; so hansome, there were baby ones as well but mum was protecting those,wanted to stay longer but the ...

... of a hotel while I was making up my mind (I also hate being indebted to people in these situations). Still, this was all happening rather fast for me, and I just found that a potential employer that I turned down had re-offered me a significantly better offer (I immediately turned down, there was too much going on as it was). This all made the next three hours a painful experience, so I decided to have a nap. I got a phone call just after lunch. I was still napping when my ...

... the closest cinema to drive to. We eventually decided that we would go the the 3.30 session at Indooropilly, which would we about a 1 hour drive. We left the apartment at about 1 and headed on the road to Brisbane, the weather was slightly better by now. We spent the long 1 hour trip listening to our ipods, thank goodness to the person that invented them! After what seemed like FOREVER, we eventually pulled into the Indooropilly Megaplex where the cinema was ...

... sand bar and they set sail for Sydney - Bon Voyage to the both of them! Just as the weather was clearing up, it unfortunately was time for us to leave. So we made our way back to Brisbane, for what turned out to be MORE rain. On a sad note, we received some bad news just prior to the New Year. We heard, with sadness, that David, our cuddly cat, passed away back home at the age of 14. It was comforting to know that, while overseas these ...

... ausgeht, gibt es hier wie in den meisten staedten australiens, die sunday session, mit der man partymaessig das wochenende ausklingen laesst. (deshalb machen die australier oefter mal montags krank.) jedenfalls war das der grund dafuer, das mir das serpentinen fahren nicht richtig spass gemacht hat und ich zwischendurch mal ein nickerchen im auto machen musste... poor me nach gut 12 ...

... however Daphne from Scooby Doo is right on the money. Ahem. The Lethal Weapon rollercoaster is set in a fake Chinatown, which I suppose links it to the fourth one, but other than that the link is tenuous at best. It's basically just there as Mel is an Aussie and Aussies love other Aussies, especially successful ones. For this one you're strapped into seats with your legs dangling, a bit like Space Harrier for you old Sega fans out there. You're slowly ...

... bus to Bryon Bay. 4 hours later we checked into our hostel and went along to the Beach Hotel Bar to watch the cricket, after a 40 minute power cut that took out the whole of Bryon, we witnessed the end of yet another terrible defeat in the cricket, this time in the 20/20 game. We hocked up with Si Bowker and his Australian girlfriend who were touring up the east coast and started off on the slippy road to another heavy night. There ...

... food and drink and even managed to get a beer out of them at the end of my shift. I got back to the digs about 6, which was just before Lenny got back. There was a note on the door for him saying that if he didn't pay asap that he would face immdediate eviction from the hostel. We spent the next couple of hours deciding what he was going to do. The best solution we came up with was to leave early the next morning and give him a hand taking all his stuff over to Palace ...

... of the afternoon looking for car keys. Once again we were fortunate to be allocated a terrific group of comrades. Whilst by day we bounced along the sandy tracks absorbing Fraser's beauty, by night we set about destroying the ten crates of beer we'd brought through an intoxicating array of drinking games. We sang and danced and joked and chanted, and accosted other group's members, including a German named Falco who I took exception to when he said I looked like a ...
