O3. Pair of kookaburras laughing thru the moonlit night. Morning marina three burgees. Main street Yeppoon good response. One couple said they saw me on TV a few days ago. Seven must have run the story. Good good. I have reached the status of zen spruik master. Reading the mood, quick response, action without thought. Hard slog standing in street for hours my legs aching. Driven by what primal urge? To become, step into the future. To collect thoughts like treasures. The story of our flag. earth central, global lex, pax planetica. Then I strolled down path to broad swath of sand stretching north and south. Shallow water ran out to the keppel islands, great and north. On the end of a curve the harbour's great rocky shoulders. Crazy crabs doing dot art. Fair fine ... read more

After leaving the hippes of Byron Bay I headed for Noosa in Queensland, "The Sunshine State". I arrived in Noosa just as a huge thunderstorm settled over the area. I absolutely love being in the tropics, but the necessary rain isn't my favorite. The bone soaking downpour lasted a few hours and denied me from even leaving the hostel. I decided on Noosa after electing to skip the big area of Surfers Paradise and Brisbane. From other travelers I heard nothing good about this area unless you really wanted pubs and clubs. After passing through these areas on the bus I think I made a good decision. Surfers was basically a little Miami Beach with huge high rises and clubs that stayed open till 5 am. My first full day in Noosa I spent at the ... read more

G'day folks. Our adventure is nearing it's end but the pace is still full on!! Since the last update we have kept up our busy schedule. We ended our Northern Territory sojourn with a 4WD trip into the Kakadu wilderness. The highlight was a long sandy drive and then a hike to lovely Jim Jim Falls - one of the most scenic sights in the area apparently. We both swam in the icy (yes really) waters under the waterfall. Our next destination was Brisbane. We were met off the plane by some old/young ozzie mates - Ken and Menna. They showed us Byron Bay + the Gold Coast, as well as treating us to a top notch barbie beside Watego Beach, Byron. We then headed north to catch up with Barb and Kelli Honan who ... read more
