Sean and I left two days ago on the OZ experience bus from Hervey Bay extremely hung over after an intense night of partying with our Fraser Island group.  It was a really really good time, with table dancing, drinking games like they were going outta style (including slap, name fuck, and of course flip-cup), the "make-out room" in the back, totally mispronounced swedish/canadian drinking chants and someone people even got lucky on the beach.  the bartender dan at our hostel was rad and hooked us up with loads of free beer, since we each dropped a couple bills on booze and smoked em outta cigarettes.  whicked good end to an awesome fraser trip.

Caught the bus the next day to Kroombit Cattle Station, way inland Queensland in the middle of nowhere.  A free (but compulsary) overnight stay at a ranch, which i would highly recommend to anyone who wants a good time.  Probably my best day here so far!  we got there and a big steak lunch was ready right away, and cold beers were flowing.  Then right away we went for a horseride, and a legit goat muster in the forest and into the field pen.  thats was rad, cause ive never ridden a horse before, let alone "yaaah!"ed some little billys.  immediatly after we went skeet shooting clay pidgeons, which musta been cool for those guys that never shot a shotgun before.  sean and i both represented the red and white and hit 5for5, no big deal....
then we had a mini rodeo, a timed event to catch a bucking goat with your bare hands, wrestle him into the cirlce, flip him and hold him while the other teammate brands him.  those little buggers are faster than they look!  whicked fun, good laughs for sure.  right after that we shot tennis balls with a potatoe gun, then apples and nectarines.  a kick ass 4x4 drive back to the station with an old p.o.s toyota (gettin pissed the whole time) and back intime for dinner.  homemade soup then roast beef. so good.
then we had a "miss kroombit" competition and all 40 of us dressed up like old ladies with a bin full of clothes from the value village for old women with ridiculously poor fashion taste.  straight up tacky dressed, high heels, and wigs.  the girls and the guys.  yeah, i know what your thinking....it was fucked up.  but awesome fun.  and guess who won the free bottle of booze for 1st place?  yep, it was sean.
This is getting long winded, but it was all so awesome.  after that we learned to crack whips, which is really gratifying when your drunk.  then it was the mechanical bull riding competition (which i had the longest ride of 40+ people, no big deal......) and i peed my shorts, just a bit, we were all laughing so hard
i know this is getting ridiculous, but its almost getting to an end.  after that we played sexual drinking games into the wee hours of the morning.  including, but not limited to, suck/blow, pop the ballon (with a different sexual position, apperently a bigger ballon is easier), pass the ballon (knees and necks), musical make-out chairs, i love my little red bull so much, and a few more i was too drunk to remember.  (floorlickin drunk...)
a few participants inspected other peoples rooms, even a few staff members got crazy.  yep, it was a sick night.  except when we got woken up by a dirtbike at 6am ripping through our room to wake us up for breakfast, then an 11hour bus ride to airlie.  and here we are!

i've really gotta run now, were heading to beaches hostel to meet everone else for a few free pitchers from the OZ Ex.  not much time to fix my hair, hope my award winning personality will be enough...
And mom/dad if your reading this, uummm, just wanted you to know anything offensive i mentioned doing was almost always sean.  love and miss u guys!
