How can a day get much better, got up at 7 for my free pancakes, got picked up at 8, flown up to 14,000feet over frasier island, jumped out of the plane, landed on rainbow beach, got back to the hostel, watched the dvd of the jump just in time for 10. got picked up again and taken to wolf rock to dive with the nurse sharks!

The sky dive was incredible, i couldnt get the grin off my face the whole way up in the plane, my stomach did lurch a bit when they open the door so all teh cold air rushes in and your kind just sat hangin out of the plane with not much choice anymore. but its all worth it when he pushes off and you start freefalling for the next 60seconds. he summersalted us and span us round, could hardly breather since you're falling at 200km/hr and its freezing but the views are incredible and the adrenaline rush amazing. the vidoe's pretty funny, ive discoverd my skin is actually quite strechy so there was a fair bit of flapping going on! got someone to write my name on the beach so i landed on that spot and wanted to go straight back up.

i had to wait around for 10-15mins before the diving and seemed like all day, i just didnt know what to do with myself, all i kept thinking was..ive just jumped out of a plane, what the hell do i do now, reading a book doesnt quite cut it!  the diving did though.

the grey nosed nurse sharks are endagered on the east coast but there is up to 40 at one time around the wolf rock site. it was a brilliant dive alround, saw quite a bit of other life, crayfish, wobbegons and leopard sharks and it was a deep dive which is a bit more fun, but it was the nurse sharks that made it. all pregnangt females as they use it as a gegsation site and are apparanlty bigger than anywhere else on teh coast, 4-5m long. they look so dead and lifeless, you can stare right in their eye and its just kind of mettalic silver and black, they swim with their mouth open so all their teeth are showing but there is just no expression, added with the darkness due to the depth and the fact they are actually sharks, makes for a pretty eerie experience. so incredible though, we saw loads loads of them but one swam right in front of me and one right under me, close enough to touch and for once, i didnt have the urge to touch it even though id been told not to!

had a bit of a beach gathering that night and then got up early for the bus to byron bay!
