Being A Tourist - Just Chillin'

The rest of the week was just spent doing different things here and there including Hartley's Crocodile Farm because I'll never get bored of croc shows. The law of averages states, the more I go and see the more chance that someone will end up with one less limb than they came with. Not that I want to see anyone get torn to pieces, I just think it'd make a different and fun photo to put on Flickr

Grrr An Stuff

We also checked out the Cairns Night Zoo where for $89 each you get beer, a BBQ and a night tour of the zoo followed by kangaroo feeding, singing and dancing. You only get about an hour for the food and beer, fortunately we're English and thus trained in the art of drinking as much as possible in a short space of time.

On one of the days me and Dad went fishing for barramundi at a lake that was very well stocked. I caught a couple but threw them back, Dad caught one and we killed it for our dinner. I say we killed it, I had to kill it because Dad wanted to throw it back so I cut its throat before he did anything of the sort. I wish I'd caught more though, I know they're only meant to have 3 second memories but I'm sure they got wise to the fact I was putting hooks in their food.

Anyway, Mum and Dad left early on the 25th and flew home to freezing temperatures and rain. Ok, so maybe it rains alot in Far North Queensland but hey, I was heading south to Brisbane and a nice, long drought.

It was wicked to see them again an all. Its hard being on the other side of the world sometimes but at least there's always Qantas.

PS: Actually Dad, you do look a little bit like Tony Blair in this photo... Hahaha!
