We got up early and made the last few bits for the picnic before having some breakfast and i gave Nick his birthday present. He really wants a maori tattoo a real one so for his birthday i've said i'll pay for him to have one done whilst we're in NZ. We got the bus straight to Hyde Park and walked to Art gallery road.

After the shark at Bondi yesterday, on the news today they were saying a 5m great white was at one of the beaches in Perth and a man was out snorkling with his son and got attacked and taken by the shark! I don't think we'll be going in the sea in Oz again!
