Woke up about 7am after a pretty good sleep and on looking out the window it looked like a nice day, so it reinforced my plans to go to Australia Zoo. Having had breakfast and got resdy to go out etc I fed all the animals. The chicken I saved yesterday was looking fine this morning after its ordeal, so hopefully it will be alright. I got to Australia Zoo just before it opened at 9am, and qued up like everyone else. Having got in and seen the map you realise how...

This morning I got up at 5:30am to see off the family, as they were leaving for the airport super early. It was very strange waving them off, from their own house which I am staying in without them! Once they had gone and I had sorted everything, i.e. feeding all the animals and had breakfast etc, I went off to put my posters at the hostels I had found. First I went to the 2 I had found in Maroochydore. All I had to do was wander in, stick the posters on the pi...

Well this is going to by the most boring blog update I have done for a long time I think: I got up even earlier than yesterday morning to go for a surf, as the winds were meant to pick up earlier.

I went down to Currimundi, but the wind and rain over night have caused the sea to be pretty stormy, and virtually unsur...

Today there was predicted to be a small clean swell around, and no wind first thing in the morning, so I got up super early for a surf. I was on the road down to Caloundra by 6am, and in the sea by 6:45am. As predicted it was really small, but due to it being over cast and drizzly first there was absolutely no wind, and it still hadn't picked up by the time I got out.. It was great to be back in the water again, I really enjoyed it. I cant wait to sell my board...

I had a good time today, it was great to be out and about this morning exploring and then just chilling at home this arvo. Having got up and had some cereals and lounged around a bit first thing, we all (including Cecily's friend Boo who stayed last night) went to Maleny for brunch. We went to a really nice cafe on the main street, then spent an hour or so just wandering around looking at all the stereotypical hippy style shops. We then drove up to the lookout ...
