drinking
as per usual human traffic last week and for first time I became a little home sick seeing the cardiff streets.... only lasted an hour or so but hey I'm in aus so no competition really).
Went to brisbane's fake beach y'day in the gorgeous sunshine. Was a paddling pool near enough with no waves (as on the river) and the deepest part was up to your thigh and that was it.... none of us were impressed at all. Had my first proper aussie barby last night. Took a shopping trolley down to the park where have free for all barby's electric. Whole area lit and there's toilets and seats and was right by the river so really picturesque. Me and seven of the boys (as per usual me being tom boy again). It was a good laugh actually was trying to speak french most of night (am getting better which is good) My aim is to actually become fluent in french by time get back. Going to be visiting Paris when get home as have places to stay now and want to be able to talk properly when get there. Anyway besides that going to Moreton Island in two weeks which
brown??
see i look well is the third biggest island in world made completely of sand. Think thats the statistic. Anyway can go whale watching and this is the time of year to do that apparently. Going on day trip with the girls so should be fun! Besides that work work work!
Right will let you know the score.... take care and Keep smiling
love bec xx

Hey guys, been working a lot, been sick with flu and done very little besides hung out with some really amazing people! Made some great friends, and as leaving tomorrow had a few drunken nights out and some laughs and a really great meal where in my opinion was one of the best ideas since been in brissie cause had such a lovely time with all people I care about here.... Been here seven weeks. No doubt keeping in touch with majority of people met such a little family thing going on in the hostel... right will get you all some good australia scenery soon so can see aus rather than my mates I've met.... I think I need some good ones too!
Speak soon and cheers for emails sorry I've been a
