G'day to Everyone Back Home :)


It's been a coupla weeks since my last post, but not much has been happening. Work has been great, as usual, though being a little short on staff (down one vet and 2 nurses) it has been a little hectic at times. Hectic enough to have me schedule my first vacation (the week of my birthday... Yay!) so I can take a break and drive around Queensland. I'm thinking about heading down towards Brisbane - I've heard it's a wonderful city and it's only a 20 hour drive and I can make several stops along the way. Of course everyone at work has suggestions on must-sees on my way down the coast, but there's no way I'll get all of them in.

And here's some fun... I have Thursday thru Sunday off next week and I'll be going up to a HUGE flea market in Youngaburra up in the tablelands - maybe I'll see you there Werewolf Dave! Then after the market, it's on to my first Aussie camping trip with some friends up at Koombooloomba Dam - it's a gorgeous place for camping, fishing, canoing, swimming (no crocs, promise) and all of that is gonna be a blast - but here's the best part... They've never heard of a S'more over here - can you believe it?! And the deal we have is they'll bring all the gear to camp and eat and I'll bring the graham crackers, milk chocolate and marshmellows so I can introduce them all to that tastey treat.

Anyway - I'll posting pics of the trip soon after I get back. I'm sure they'll fun to look through.

Cheers for now! Luv ya'll. Matt

P.S. This pic is of a little tourist outfit bobbing on down the Daintree River.
