My boomerang didn't come back! 😕

Wow what a day I've had. First of all I went to an aboriginal Alton Towers lol and learnt all about more aboriginal culture. Really, really interesting. Then the fun begins lol. Boomerang throwing! Now anyone who really knows me will know what a dozy cow I can be and how I have no hand eye connection. So here I am with this aboriginal guy trying to throw a boomerang. Plop it hits the ground. Second attempt, plop it hits the ground. All of a sudden from the corner of my left eye I see this boomerang heading straight towards me! Off course it is! This is the woman who got hit by a puck, I said puck, at ice hockey. The aboriginal guy had to push me out if the way and he cleverly intercepted it with his boomerang! It was a bloody American guy doing the throwing!

Next we moved on to spear throwing. Needless to say I gave it a rest lol. Then I, yes me, went on a cable car, on my own. How brave is that. It took us up into the rain forest which was truly breathtaking. It was so warm I was dripping wet - I'm saying no more I will let my friends from Buddies draw their own conclusions from that statement!

I then arrived in the little town and went straight to the zoo there, I had enough of culture by then and also there were too many shops to tempt me. Oh what a lovely zoo it was, very small but so friendly. I fed a wallaby by hand, how cool is that. I saw them feeding the crocodiles, gruesome! Then, oh I was so excited I met Polly and Pugsy the two wombats! Oh they were adorable. I stood there ages watching them. Then I went and had my photo taken with Tilly the koala. Koala is an aboriginal word which means one that doesn't drink, as koalas don't, they get all the moisture from the eucalyptus. Oh and they are not bears either!

Oh she was lovely. I started rocking her like a baby lol and she was falling asleep in my arms, so sweet. They let me hold her for ages, it was brilliant.

I then caught the train down the rainforest. It's a small 1920 type train. I must have thought I was commuting again as I fell asleep lol! I was shattered when I got back but what a day. I am so lucky as I have done all and more of what I wanted to do. However, tomorrow is the big one. The Great Barrier Reef. I am trying not to panic about:

A. Me in a swimming costume
B. Me in a Lycra wetsuit thing
C. Me in the sea, the big sea
D. Drowning because I don't know how to breath through that pole thing
E. stingrays
F. Jelly fish lol the real ones. That would be my luck, death by jelly fish lol lol
G. Oh yes sharks lol

Apart from that, really looking forward to it lol. I'm sure I'm going to be just fine. If not at least I died happy and yes Andy you can have my iPhone and iPad lol.

So I'm sitting outside the reception bar in the warm it's 9.00pm here and I have a large glass of Sauvignon mmmm very good. If you can make it sunny for me from Thursday guys I would appreciate it lol.
Yes I know you don't spell moron like that but I thought it was funny lol

  1. I get the feeling that someone will not be wanting to come back to her homeland?
