Hello everybody
I am now in sunny Hervey Bay (very, very, very sunny - even at 6 o'clock this morning!) having started the train journey yesterday at 9.15am and getting to my final station at 5.25am. Aaarrgghh ! Another long train journey, though the trains are somewhat cleaner than in China - especially the loos !!!!! - and the food is edible. Then an hour's bus journey from the station to Hervey Bay.
It is massively hot and sunny here - so hot that even with air-con on full blast it's proving difficult to cool my room down. Never mind - I think (hope) it will cool off later on.
I am just in the travel agents at the moment and am hoping to do a trip to Frazer Island tomorrow and then maybe move on down to Noosa and/or Nimbin. Beach resorts are all very well but you have to be in to sailing, diving, etc, etc, to get the best from them and I want to see a bit more of the "real" Australia.
All is well, although my head is swimming a bit from the length of time on the train. I'm sure a nice sit down for a lovely lunch will cure that and then I'm off to the botanic gardens.
Lots of love to you all.
Issy

PS: In case you're wondering, today's picture is "metal kangaroos in Brisbane". I couldn't resist it, but it's a bit scary.
