We had to head back to Townsville for a
few days to get the car fixed. As we were bored of hanging around the
petrol station car park that had become our home, we decided to spend
a day at the Billabong Sanctuary that was just down the road.
BEST DECISION EVER!!!!

| This one had a baby in it's pouch. Very odd watching it squirm around in there. |
 |
| Meet Ray Charles! He's a blindo and he's lovely! |
 |
| Once I got this kangaroo to stop eating a paper bag he munched on the seeds in my hand :) |
 |
| Wombat! I want one. |
 |
| Trying to stay cool. |
 |
| *ovaries exploding* |
 |
| My best fake smile! |
 |
| You say "big wings, Billy!" and he does this! |
 |
| Emu! |
 |
| These are freshwater crocs. Apparently they won't eat you. I'm still not putting my foot in there. |
 |
| Dingoes Ate My Baby (10 points to whoever correctly guesses that pop culture reference) |
 |
| And finally, my arch nemesis, the saltwater crocodile |
 |
| No. Just, no. |
So, that was a few days ago and we've since driven about 600km south. We're in a little town called Emerald just now where we went "fossicking" for sapphires yesterday. We came out with a small bag of them! One of them was of "gem quality", meaning it was large enough and pure enough to be cut into a nice stone for jewellery. The shop assistants started trying to coerce Mathias into getting it put into a ring for me and we quickly left.
Tonight we are heading to a rodeo! Not sure what that entails exactly but apparently 95% of the town's population will be there, so it should be fun. YeeHa!!!
Nice way to enjoy petrol-station-wasted time! And it's always nice to have news from your ovaries.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure "Dingoes ate my baby" is the name of Oz's band in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but I'm painfully resisting the strong urge to google it, just to play fair. What did I win?
(I knew watching this show would eventually be useful!)
(Kidding, I didn't know.)
You are of course correct! However, I clearly stated that the winner gets "10 points", and the penalty for not reading the rules correctly is also 10 points, so I'm afraid you're back to 0. Maybe next time!
DeleteDamn! I only wanted to know what to do with these 10 points! Not fair! (If the penalty for a rant is also 10 points, please ignore this message)
