The past month in Oz...

Hey guys,

Well the last month has been quite the adventure. I wish I would have had time sooner to do this but I'll point form it for ya...

-Started in Darwin
-Bought an aboriginal painting for cheap and went on a bush tucker tour
-Learned to throw a boomerang and play a didgeridoo
-Slept in a swag in the outback
-Swam in a thermal pool
-Swam in waterfalls
-Went to Uluru and walked around it took about 3 hours... it is massive
-Went to the great barrier reef and scuba dived... it was wild I also snorkeled
-Tried surfing it was great I totally want to go again and yes I stood on the board
-Saw a real koala, kangaroo, wallaby, a huge spider (hunter spider of all places in Sydney lol) , dolphin in the wild... i know there is more but can't remember at the moment Internet cafes suck.
-Went on a 2 day sailing trip to through the Whitsundays... it was absolutely beautiful... went to Whitehaven beach... one of the top 3 in the world. During this excursion I saw a massive sea turtle it was really cool... snorkeling here was so much better then in Cairns
-Went to Frasier Island
-Went to a Dracula dinner show it sounded corny but turned out to be a lot of fun!
-Saw the Sydney opera house which is a lot smaller then I thought I'd be in real life. Also went to the botanical gardens, art gallery, and aquarium.
-Today I took the fairy over to Manly beach spent the day with some Contiki friends it was very relaxing... I got a nice tan ;)

I'm sure I'm forgetting heaps of things but this is what came off the top of my head....

Hopefully this blog will answer what I've been up to.... I've been getting way too many e-mails and little time to answer them... if you have any other detailed questions e-mail me.

I am currently in Sydney living in a hostel... it's not as bad as I thought I'd be but I really need to find a place to live asap and a job... the sushi is so good here I've been eating that on the regular b/c it's so cheap! Also the shopping is amazing... it's so hard to control myself. I just don't have the room in my suitcase... I have a million pictures but they are currently not with me... I'll have to do a picture post sometime soon. My camera screen decided to stop working on me today... I'm pretty annoyed hopefully it's just water that will dry out. My cam is supposed to be waterproof.... =/

I plan on going to New Zealand and where ever else time and money allows me to go.

Until then...
-Jill
