Christian's Little Jaunt
Alright all? Been about a week since the last update so tons of wicked stuff to tell you. Ready? Haven't got long.
Nimbin. Pot capital of Australia, throwback hippy town stuck in the summer of love. Lunch. Done.
Ipswich. Rubbish. Coffee. One hour. Sunnier than our one.
Surfers Paradise. Neither as far as I could see. Sunny.
Brisbane. Hammered. Met Abi's cousin and mates. Good pubs. Walking around naked in the foyer. A sunny.
Fraser Island. Sand (more than the Sahara by all accounts.) Camping for 2 nights. Driving a 4 x 4 (not a Samurai.) Abi nearly eaten by dingos. Christian nearly washed out to sea. Or rained on, one of the two, not sure. Whales, sharks, rays, dolphins. Awesome
Now we're near a "town" called Baralaba, 3 hours inland, staying on this brilliant working farm run by some of the most genuine Aussies you could wish to meet. Put it this way, one of the cowboys Dave drove with us to get some beer from the nearest shop (only 10 miles away), and Abi asked him if he'd ever hit any 'roos with his car. The reply - "F*** yeah, I f***ing swerve to make sure I hit the b******s."
Anyway, yesterday was learn to ride a horse and motorbike day, today was drive the cattle while on a horse and drive the horses while on a motorbike day. Hundreds of wild 'roos around, and other crazy wildlife and a pretty cool sunset over the desert-type land. Feel a bit like extras from Bonanza. Except they have this old stuff for you to wear that makes you look like a cross between John Wayne (the horse) and Don Jonson (the trousers). Smooth. Lassooing while wearing silver-effect flecked slacks is a must for anyone, I'm telling you. All good - Whitsunday Islands next, can't wait.
Will upload when we get to civilisation. Laters 'gators, love C x

Jerry Oct22Literateur I disagree rhincess' is not what you want from a poem entitled Static'. I can't imagine rich' static. By imagery' I guess you don't mean visuality? Because obviously static is not really a visual but more an aural thing so visuality would be out of place
