Well Ken, now you know what to do with all your free time there.
Spend it raising bail after being pinched for heisting opals.

Good stuff, thanks!

Although I wont be going to far north this trip(Brisbane, or anything place north) because of all the damage from the recent cyclones and flooding, one of these days I would love to visit the great barrier reef.

Is the Brisbane Zoo the one where the Lorikeets fly in every day at 4PM for feeding? If so I did that. I recall sitting there waiting with a dish full of bread and sugar water waiting for them to come. Next thing I knew there was a 100 thousand parrot like looking birds everywhere sitting on your head, sholders, arms, and all around the dish, They were shitting on everyone as well. At the same Zoo, assuming that was the one, I got to hold a baby Koala Bear for almost an hour. That shit on my Parachute Jacket as well LOL!

Looks like it was a good trip. Did you run in to any issues getting around with the flooding they had out there?

No, fortunately all the rain and flooding was to the north and south of Sydney. And all the wild fires were on the west coast near Perth. Other then the first day I was there which got up to 41*C, the weather was perfect in the mid 20's C all week.
