I'm back from my trip to Australia!

This is a pic of me at Telstra Stadium in Sydney - I went with my little brother Brent, it's where the olympics were etc (if you didn't know). Check out my new pink Chuck Taylors!

On our first Saturday night in Surfers, Brett Atkinson - my buddy from Surfcity had his birthday party/house warming - his house just happened to be an apartment in the Q1 Tower - the new really tall building in Surfers"tallest residential tower in the southern hemisphere" apparently. So that was fun, it was sooo flash! And caught up with lots of Surfcity people too which was great! And he had all 4 Singstar games! And my brother Brent and I were singing all the Kiwi ones - like Exponents etc. Oh by the way, the Theme was "B". Lots of bogans there and brett was Braveheart, Brent was a Brisbane Bronco, and Bob Marley was there too (as you can see below)...

My brother and I hired scooters and went for a hoon up the Spit and down to Broadbeach, that was fun... hmmm something to put on my list for Santa this christmas!Byeeeee Eleanor - she came to stay a night with us in our apartment on the Gold Coast (view of the broadwater lagoon at Labrador and up to Runaway Bay), then I took her to the airport on Thursday to see her off for London. (sob sob... how will i cope?!)We went up the top of Mt Coot-tha yesteday before we flew out. Ok I must admit I don't exactly know Brisbane like the back of my hand as I claim, and Brent also failed me in his map reading skills, but we got up there eventually! This is Brent, Dad, Mum and Aunty Kath with the sky scrapers of Brisbane CBD in the background.

There was lots of good shopping to be done - i had to buy a polka dot headband in Brisbane to fit in with everyone at Queens St Mall! Will be good to start my new job next week and clear my credit card!

Thanks Lee and Mark, and Nicola for letting me stay with you guys - was sooo great to catch up!
