I don't want to come home!!!
(I love you all, but it's warm here. And I love it.)
Anyhow, after that little rant.
I'm about to hop on a plane here in Melbourne at 12:55pm on Thursday, Mar 1. I arrive in Van at 4:55pm on Thur, Mar 1. some 30 odd hours later, in my world. Aaaaaaaaaargh.

Queensland
Pictures will do it all far more justice....
Warning signs for people who are driving 4x4's on the beach. (Which is perfectly legal; as long as you stick to the posted speed limits!!) It was so much fun...absolutely gorgeous. Ask me to see the video when I get home if you want to.
The lagoon at Rainbow beach. This is where we drove to when we were 4x4ing...the black stuff you see is black sand. Stunning beach. Went snorkeling and saw a sea turtle, two stingrays that were over 3 feet (1 metre) wide with huge pointy thick bits on their tails, lots of brightly colored fish, and a number of other underwater creatures.
Check out that watch tan...serious business! It's Hot hot hot here!
The man-made beach in the middle of the central business district in Brisbane. Gorgeous, a great way to cool off, and free! You can see the Brisbane river (which has fast powered catamaran service up and down it) and the freeways in the background.

The view from at a lookout somewhere around Maleny. It was very humid and tropical that morning.
Me at Rainbow beach. Muahaha I'm tan.
Jeanine, Xris, and Leigh at Leigh's house. We made a fabulous dinner.
Crab at the State Library in Brisbane.

the sunshine state
Insane? probably. Oh well.
Queensland is the sunshine state, so apparantly it's going to be hotter there than it has been here. argh.
Won't have my computer, so you won't hear from me again until monday more than likely.
hope you all are well.
