Photos

Hullo, the first (small) set of photos from Australia are up here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/olr/. I'll get more up as soon as I have more time at a computer of any sorts. In other news my brand new ipod has been wiped by a combination of stupid laptops and stupid apple programming - well I guess it couldn't all be sunshine and laughter!

Acting your age...

...is entirely overrated and not something that messers Thomas, Hicks and Roberts have ever been accused of! Accordingly we took a trip to Adventure World amusement park yesterday, it's basically a low-key version of Thorpe Park or somewhere like that - but the waterslides are awesome, and the place was pretty much deserted! So we three 30 somethings ran around like the fat childish idiots that we are sustaining many an injury, getting stuck in tubes, eating icecreams and generally having a top time!
My advice for anyone who wants it is act your shoesize... today we're off to the aquarium!

Land, Sea and Air

Went to Caversham Wildlife Park yesterday and Rottness island today so I've seen lots of flora and forna! I've stroked koalas, kangaroos, and a wombat - all very soft, softer than expected. Also seen were kookaburras, owls, spotted quolls, tasmanian devils, minks, and tonnes of other beasties!
Today the weather was gorgeous for our trip to Rottness Island - which is a small island with virtually nothing and no one on it, perfect for beaches and snorkeling. Huge numbers of fishies to be seen along with amazing coral - most excitingly we saw a lobster and a stingray!
And, of course, as always there were parrots flying around pretending to be normal birds!
