Hello Again:
Sorry it's been so long since I last wrote. Last week I just stayed around Lismore and not much happened. But I did manage to write my paper for English. I can't believe that I only have 42 more days down here......boy has time flew by.....the month of April just seemed to disappear!!!
This past weekend I went up to Brisbane with 2 of my other flatmates. One American named Sara, and one Australian named Bec. It was a fun filled weekend that all started when we loaded up the Kirklands bus as exactly 12:30 on Friday afternoon. It was a 4 hour bus ride so we arrived in the lovely city of Brisbane at around 4:30 in the afternoon!! We quickly found our hostil named Tinbilly's. I ended up being in a room by myself but it was fine.....afterall I wasn't in the room that much anyways. After we got settled in we went for a look around the city and then got ready for the night's festivities: a Brisbane Bronco Football (Rugby) Game!!! The game was alot of fun and we had really good seats. I enjoyed the game, and I could cheer on the Broncos because I also like the Broncos back home in the States!! They did end up losing but it was great to see a game!!! We went to bed after the game to get ready for a fun filled day in Brisbane!!
We had a leasurely morning which equals that we woke up at around 9:30....it was nice not having to be somewhere early in the morning for once:) We all got ready and then went on a walking tour of the city. We went to Queen Street Mall, walked around and up to another area and then to the Botanical gardens. After that we worked our way up and back to our hotel. We had a little nap and then got ready for the evening. That evening we went out to the Valley and had some fun dancing. We got back to our hostil at about 2:30 in the morning and went to sleep as we were catching our bus back to Lismore at 10:30 the next day.
We woke up and then proceeded to the Brisbane Transit Center to catch our bus home. It was an uneventful ride back and we made it safely back to Lismore at around 2:30 in the afternoon. And that concluded a nice weekend in Brisbane with my flatmates!!
This week I'm off on my last outdoor ed. field trip in to Girraween National Park for 4 days. Yep, that's 4 days of camping and navigating!! Wish me Luck!!!
Talk to you later,
Allison
