Brissie to Byron

Hey everyone,

Hope everyone is well. I feel heaps better. In Brisbane, I was able to heal myself (well, all the meds helped) and I am starting to feel normal again. I stayed with a friend and her parents and felt so comfortable and cared for: exactly what you need when sick. Thanks Penny and Mr and Mrs Jenkins!

I had a great time in Brissie. Penny gave me a great tour of the area. We went to Wellington Point and walked out on the sand bridge to a mangrove island. It was very cool (a little wet) but awesome to see the kite surfers jumping and flipping around. We ate at a great steak joint... mmmmm, fabulous and juicy steak! Then we went out to Mount Coot-tha for brilliant views of the city and the surrounding mountains. South Bank of Brissie is a really cool, chill place with lots of places to relax and enjoy the views. We were there to browse the markets. Then, Fish & Chips (okay, I admit I am an addict). The next day was a road trip day out to Lamington National Park and Green Mountain. We did a tree top walk through the canopy which was pretty cool. Didn't see a lot of animals but on the way back into Brisbane, we stopped at a place and saw a wallaby with a baby. So cute when the baby hopped over to Mom and pulled open the pouch to eat... awwwww!

Then I had a day to myself so I went out to the Australia Zoo. It is a pretty impressive zoo: it is massive, great variety and very interactive. Scary at times (crocodiles and people mostly) but still cool. So now I can check that off my list.

I am now in Byron Bay and just relaxing. I have a trapeze lesson this evening... so cool. I think that is a skill that will definately come in handy at some point. I'll let you know how it goes.

Talk to you all in a few,

Lisa
