<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Saturday, August 16, 2003 :: Yesterday Juris and Wynsomme took me to O'Reilly's in Lamington National Park. We did a treetop rainforest walk. Very cool. And I had a Rosella sit on my head. That's a bird, by the way. A very pretty one. Then we went for a hike around the rainforest. Beautiful. Today, Juris is taking me on a motorcycle ride to Mt. Tambourine. Then Winsomme and I will walk around, do some window shopping. Tonight, we're all going out for a nice dinner and to hear a live band. Tomorrow (Monday) I leave to go to the Australia Zoo (home of the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin) and then on to Hervey Bay. Tuesday, I start my Fraser Island adventure. :: Cathy 4:01 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Thursday, August 14, 2003 :: I'm posting from The State Library stand at the Ideas at the Powerhouse in Brisbane. Alex just called to tell me that most of Ontario and New York is in blackout. CRAZY! I feel so far removed. Here I am at this festival of ideas, while most of the world at home is realizing just how much they depend on electricity. Had a tour of Queensland Art Gallery today. The tour guide was strange. She refused to acknowledge my presence! I wonder if perhaps she thought I was American (sidebar: there's a book here called "why we hate america" and I want to read it). I'm reading such a good book right now. Tales of a Female Nomad. Outstanding. Inspiring. I'm all about inspiration right now. I need to explore some new ideas. I am feeling dissatisfied. There has to be more... Tonight I'm going to see a dance performance at QPAC (Queensland Performing Arts Centre). :: Cathy 11:58 PM [+] :: 0 comments Went to Brisbane on Tuesday. What a fantastic day!! Going back tomorrow. Wednesday, I did a little jaunt around SouthPort (Gold Coast) and then went rock climbing at Brisbane's Kangaroo Point at night for only $15! Total magic! Today I toddled off to my surf class. Wow, was it hard. I actually swore at the surf. However, I still thought I was the coolest person I know while I was doing it. I just wish it were easier. All this while my parents took off to go to Vancouver to go to a wedding I should be at and then on to Calgary to visit my sister, who just bought a house! :: Cathy 6:38 AM [+] :: 0 comments :: Monday, August 11, 2003 :: Booked all my tours this morning for Fraser Island and Whitsundays, including my dive course. Exciting! Then took the bus to Surfer's Paradise, looked into another surf class, which I'll do on Wednesday, I think. Had some ice cream and hung out on the beach. Winsomme took me to Springbrook National Park tonight to the Natural Arch to look at the glow worms there. Very cool! Our torch (flashlight) broke, so we did the hike in the dark. It was magic. Tomorrow to Brisbane for the day! :: Cathy 6:18 AM [+] :: 0 comments :: Sunday, August 10, 2003 :: Q: Where am I? A: Nerang, QLD Q: Where's that? A: Near Surfer's Paradise, on the Gold Coast, north of Sydney. Q: Why Nerang? A: I'm staying with Jan Plain's sister, Winsomme (and husband Juris). Lovely people! Q: What did I do today? A: Juris and Winsomme took me on a driving tour around the Gold Coast, for ice cream, for a fish n chips lunch, to the hinterland to the lookout points of a couple of national parks Q: What's the weather like? A: It was about 23 degrees and sunny but windy on the coast. In the hills, it was cooler. Q: Is it really winter there? A: Yes. This is winter Q: Do I have a tan yet? A: Yes. I finally have a tan! Q: How long will I be here? A: Just decided. One week. I leave on Monday, August 25th. :: Cathy 6:34 AM [+] :: 0 comments
