Queensland
Norm: "You know how to keep the flies out of your face?"
Me: "Nope?"
Norm: "Just put a bit of shit behind your ears..."
Me: "Nice."
Norm let me use his truck for the week, which I used to go to the beach almost every day to swim, fish and run amongst the beautiful people. I realise now why people drive big 4WD's, because people just get the f*&% out of your way. Queensland pedestrians are like cattle though. They're a bit thick, and like to wander into the middle of the road.
On the case...
I went hiking through the Noosa National Park and got some great photos. It was only about a 7 Km walk. Some of it was even bitumen. I did find a little beach off the beaten path though that I got all to myself. Damn relaxing I must say.
Big Goanna that proved handy in scaring British tourists

I also stayed with my God parents for a couple of days which was kind of ironic. Not exactly religious myself, and neither are they. It involved getting blotto, and a free boat ride with Chris, the skipper on the Noosa River Cruises. Yay for free trips and food!
I went out Saturday night, the only time I've ever gone out to a pub solo.
I figured being a loser that the backpacker pub was the place to make new friends, which I did. Turns out it was also schoolies at the time (cross my heart that this eventuation was not intentional) which thus made me a major toolie. Had a good night going nuts with a couple of Scotsmen. Their accents were gold. The funniest line I heard one of them say to a German girl was, "You'd butter be Caireful whun you're suck and takon punicullun 'cos you'll be pussed." Needless to say she had absolutely no idea what he said. Norm was sorely disapointed that I "didn't get a shot off" as he put it so eloquently, even though I came home at 4am. He was even more disgusted that getting laid was not my sole mission in life.
After a week I still managed to remain the whitest man in Australia (mostly...)
