Fly to Brisbane

Thursday 2nd December 2010
8.15am Depart Fiji
9.15am Arrive Brisbane, Australia

Train to Varsity Lakes when my cousin Jodie is coming to pick me up- YIIIPPEE!! Very excited to be here, although it is chucking it down! Isn't it SUMMER???
It's wierd how you picture a place and it is completely different in reality. I did not expect Australia to be tropical- I suppose I thought it would just be hot and dry. But its really humid and there are lots of tropical birds and plants- palm trees :D very cool!
Jodie's house is soo lovely- finally got to meet her kids Jake and Brooklyn and her hubby Mick. My Aunty Sue came over later as well- soo good to see family.

Friday 3rd- Finally saw Harry Potter- WOW I cannot wait for the next one
Saturday 4th- Jodie took me to work with her and I got a free facial and pedicure. WINNER! :P haha!
Walked around the area of Burleigh Heads- nice beach and you can see Surfers cityscape from there. It would have been doubly cool if the sun was out and I could take some pictures, but NO it was still chucking it down. Its like monsoon weather here! mental! The bad weather keeps following me I swear.
Later we all went out for dinner- I finally met with my uncle (that sounds funny doesn't it?) Uncle Keith- and we all went for a mexican in Coolangatta.
Sunday 5th- shopping :D
Tuesday7th- Aunty Sue picked me and Jake up and we went to her housee! DOUBLE WOW!!! the back of her house looks out over the most amazing view! I will take some photographs when the rain stops I promise! But WOW OH WOW!!! There were parrots and cockatoos flying about as well! I did take some photos in the end, but seem to have misplaced my uploader wire thingy!
Its crazy- Sue lives over the boarder into New South Wales and there is an hour time difference here! How mental is that? I was scared I was going to miss my flight the following morning.
Wednesday 8th- Fly to Melbourne to start my Oz Experience adventure!!
