It is bloody freezing in Oz! I left Brisbane in a massive storm yesterday and it rained all night in Bundaberg, thankfully I braved the freezing temperatures due to the wonders of reverse cycle air conditioning- heat = my friend.
Well, I had a lovely time in brisbane, it was really nice to catch up with my friends and see loads of things including cuddling a Koala at Lone Pine Sanctuary. I went cycling through the city's Botanical Gardens and trendy South Bank area. It was lovely. Saw Shrek 3 as well and guffawed and giggled my way through it Merrily!
I'm now up in Bundaberg staying in a gorgeous little B and B and mooching around in my Banana yellow hire car- I always wondered who bought those bloody things and yes it appears that AVIS do!
Off to the bundaberg rum distillery this afternoon and then off to a sugar cane museum to do a bit of swatting up on plantation agriculture- got to do some school work! If it doesn't stop raining I'll be forced to go to the cinema again!
Unfortunately it seems that just about every dive shop in bundaberg has shut up shop, gone bust or into hiding so will prob have to wait for Rainbow each and the Grey Nurse Sharks to dive.
I had to bite the bullet and buy a new wetsuit the other day as mine had started to feel like tissue paper and had about as many thermal insulating properties as an ice cube! So hopefully the sharks will appreciate my new combi 7/5mm blue and black Oceanic suit-$600 Aussie well spent!
