Driving is the devil

---

Well after an 18 hour drive we are back near sun, sand and surf. We hung out in adalaide and went to some awesome wineries, forgot where we were for a few days 😉 and decided not to go to cober pedy (inland desert area with underground hostels) because Spanky was giving us sass...so we decided to move to the East Coast...Brisbane to be more specific....we have only been here a day but our hostel is amazing. They are out of rooms so we only have to pay 10 dollars to sleep in the TV room...not sure how much sleeping will be done...Muaaaaaa....

All in all having a great time...really the status of that hasent changed that much. We have seen amazing things, met amazing people....saw wineries, went bull riding, we even did a penguin tour and saw the worlds smallest penguins along with seals, and I even saw my first manta ray skimming the surface of the water!

We decided to get serious about surfing and scuba diving. I think from now untill we leave we are going to be pretty busy. We are going to get our scuba certificate in a week or so and I am soooo looking forward to that! Then we are going to Fraser Island where its ALL SAND DUNES and they give you a 4x4 for a few days and you just rip around on the sand dunes.. AMAZING! Then we have decided that since we didnt do cober pedy we are going to Fiji for a few days or so....Lot to do and we are running out of time. This country is amazing!!!!!!!

well enjoy the pictures....Ill update soon! Miss you all!!!!!!

Melbourne Jail death masks
Toured the Mlebourne jail....totally creppy. When people were executed they poured plaster over their faces to make a "death mask". Some of then still had eyelashes and facial hair...totally sick!

Mount Gambier Blue Lake
Hmmmmm wonder how it got its name. This is actually its true color. Not Photoshop used for this one. It only glows blue in the summer months...mysterious....

Cute little Koala
The little cutie above our car at the Brownhill Creek Carivan Park. This is where we stayed in Adalaide....

New haircut
Soo.....what does everyone think?! Haa haaaaaa

Crazy Blokes
Some crazies we went bull riding (mechanical) with in Adalaide. Tenneal stayed on the bull for 31 seconds and she has huge bruises to proove it! :) The guy on the left got attacked by a shark...

Miss T's Bull Riding Bruise

Shark Attack
Our bull riding mate that got attacked by a shark....sick....

Outside of Mt Gambier
Swimming hole in the middle of a farmers field. Big limestone crater from a volcano. It is 200 meters deep and there were scuba divers in the water. Tenneals favorite swimming hole.

Neat little surf town outside Adalaide
Surfs up!

Surfs Up!
One day I will be pro...

Biking to wineries
Outside Adalaide you will find Barossa Valley home to 60+ wineries. We decided to hit all the wineries in our region and what better way to do that then to bike...with helmets of course..its safer that way. We were done after 5....amazing wine...Thought of you Valerie!!!!

Tenneal the spy

Hey Avril. I'm glad you're having a super time. Stay away from the sharks though, huh. I enjoyed reading your blog. Wish I could be over there getting a fine tan. It looks like you're having some great adventures. There's nothing like being young and free. As for me, I've met someone over here who's going to cook me up some Malawian Nsima...mmmmm. Take care.

Mmmmm wine.... Looking at your pics of sunny Australia and then looking out the window at the skiff of snow that arrived this morning. I'm thinking happy thoughts though, thoughts of sitting on my deck in the summer and drinking a nice cold beer! I love this blog and hearing about the adventures of A-dog and Miss T. Keep us updated
