The Australians call in "Tarka" weather, it's like normal weather but a little otter!
There have been some comments, well only one, who has mentioned it that our crazy adventure stories are a bit long! So we've thought about this and decided to narrow it down a bit!
Thus far in Australia we have done the following;
Been to Hervey Bay and saw humpback whales, and spent the day on Fraser Island in a 4wheel drive lorry,
Enjoyed a session at a winery and sampled some wine, bought a coupla bottles and sampled more later,
Went to Great Keppel Island and stayed 2 nights in a safari tent, listened to lots of wild life throughout the night, and some blokes wild girlfriend in the morning! She should have been approached with more caution, or not fed after midnight! Also went snorkelling and lazed about on the beaches for the few days we were there. Got harrassed at meal times by lorekeets who tried to steal the food off your plates! And saw possums with baby possums and funny looking birds that we don't know the name of!
Drove up to Airlie Beach and spent the day snorkling on the great barrier reef, which is the most amazing place in the world!
In addition to these cool adventures we have done the usual things like laundry, bit of shopping at supermarkets, went out for a beer or two and navigated our way up the east coast of Australia. We didn't do that of course after we'd had a beer or two, despite the other day getting pulled over by a Policeman who was doing random breath tests.
After getting back from our 2 days on Great Keppel Island we got back to our camper and stayed over on a cheap an cheerful site just down the road. We started to get something to eat when disaster had struck upon our fridge. The battery had gone flat over the 3 days we were away! And you guessed it the worst thing ever to happen in a hot climate like this.... WARM BEER! A quick illegal hook up to the power supply, as we paid for an unpowered site and 'you beut' she was up an running agin!
So hope that has satified your curiosity on Wic and Lisab's around the world in more than 80 days.
You have a Great Keppel day now!
