Well first of all let me tell you that we did find some kangaroos out in the wild. We saw a whole load of them sitting in the field of the local prison. They were happy just sitting there. Now on to today. We went to Australia zoo today. It was a great day out and there was so much to see from alligators to zebras. It is Steve Irwin's zoo and they really do know how to look after their animals and they love their crocodiles. We watched the crocodile show and he ...

The whole of the upstairs was set aside to what queensland people collect e.g a collection of fingernails, my little ponies and whisks. It really was random.

Well have made it to Hong Kong and am sat at the gate waiting to board the next part of the flight. Watched a film on the plane but didn't get much sleep. Trying to get my body clock sorted as I'll need to sleep on the next flight to be able to sort out my body clock. Met a girl who is flying back to Sydney after spending 6 weeks in Aberdeen visiting her boyfriend. Laughed that she thought Scotland was grey. Made it this far. Xxx
