Inverell-Brisbane

Thats an expensive bunny!
It was nice today to get a complaint about the lack of yesterdays post. At least I know someone is reading! Yesterday was a very quiet day, hence the lack of a post. I had a quiet morning, dyed my hair, then spent the afternoon resting, since my body is struggling with fatigue. We had tea together and watched Australia's Got Talent. I'm very excited to see if either the Wolfe Brothers or Dylan Yeandle can win... How cool would it be to see a Tassie act take it out?
Today I had an early start heading up to Brisbane. I had a few stops along the way, but I didn't get to look around anywhere much. I did see sign that made me do a double take, a $30,000 rabbit! Or to be more specific, a sign threatening a fine of up to $30,000 for keeping rabbits. I think it was related to mixomitosis, but I don't know for sure. 



 


Fishermans Island
I made it to Brisbane without any huge troubles, I even managed to avoid the toll roads. I am staying with my friends Steves Mum Julie, and her partner Don. They have a lovely big house, with a gorgeous view across Waterloo Bay. You can see stright across to the shipping yards at Fishermans Island. That in itself is not very impressive, but from their deck the cranes look like giraffes. Its a bit hard to see them, but they are in the picture above... Julie and Don live in a two story house which wasn't a problem when Steve was here with me and could just just carry me up the stairs, but is a little more interesting now. I bummed up the stairs while Don, who has a bad back, carried my legs. I did almost miss a step and tumble back down, but I saved it. This will be an interesting few days. Time for dinner and an early night!
