I'll be coming home next year...


I'm back from hi-at us and leaving on my next adventure to Biloela, in Central Queensland.

What a month it's been, my time in Eidsvold finished up without any drama.  And by drama I mean no babies needing delivering! This time around, there's a whole roster of midwives to deal with all that awfulness. 

Agnes Water was absolute paradise, I would love to share photos but my phone gave up the will to live, before I had a chance to transfer them, so you'll just have to take my word for it.  But it also means I've narrowly avoided sharing pictures of the ludicrous sunburn and subsequent tan lines I'm STILL trying to even out. It's become clear to me that I should not be allowed near a bottle of sunscreen without strict supervision. So any volunteers to be my beach buddy next time, let me know.

That's about all there is to catch up on so.. new stuff!

Last week I said au revoir to old friends and some new ones I've met along the way.  So I figured this was an appropriate soundtrack:


I've nearly sweated it through my first week, and MY GOD it's hot out here! Why oh why did I, not only, pack skinny jeans, but DECIDE TO WEAR THEM???!!!

I now know how Ace Ventura felt when he was trying to get out of that rhino, the process of removing skinny jeans in this sweltering heat is remarkably similar.  For those of you who can't (or rather, don't want to) remember the 90s here's that particular blast from the past.  Enjoy the imagery...



I've done a little exploring so far. Lake Callide isn't far out of town, and not a bad spot to set up camp for a couple of hours.



 As far as swimming goes however, (an absolute essential given the current climate) it looks like I'll be splitting my time between Tannum Sands and the local pool, for the following reasons:
  • Directly to the left of this photo is the Callide Power Station 
  • I'm slightly concerned about running into a three-eyed fish, if I go for a dip.  
  • I'm surprisingly less concerned by crocodiles and jellyfish at Tannum Sands - figure that one.




That's about all I have for now, more to come soon.  Love to all xx
