      • Skydive on youtube
        11/19/06
        hey chaps, I'm back on the rock, safe and sound. I've slapped the full skydive video - including runup, view from 14,000ft and the chute decent - onto youtube, which is located here.
        Enjoy.

        I've also posted the video of flo and I doing a silly dance underwater. It'

        My last night in Brizzers was pretty sweet. I chiled out in a blues/jazz bar for a while, then went onto a live band venue which was nothing short of awesome. The music was fantastic as was the atmosphere. I got chating to Anne, a 38YO local business lawyer who was as friendly as (I got the feeling

      • Last day power-chill in brizza
        11/15/06
        A fairly uneventful 24 hours have passed.

        I relaxed in the 'lagoon' of airlie to music and the Dawkins book I'm reading (really quite interesting - 'The GOD Delusion' - give it a go), then made a move when my skin started to make a sizzling sound (smells like baco

        Back on land, but certainly no regrets!

        Winding back a tad, I grabbed a 2 for 1 pizza deal with Florean and we chatted long and hard. The guy is very intelligent, being trilingual and just finished his master's in economics, but still a bit of a party boy. In the afternoon we relaxed

        Awesome. Sailing the Whitsundays is mind-blowingly good...

        I arrived on the catamaran soon after writing the previous entry feeling a tad worse for wear. Upon arriving at the meeting zone I found I'd be sharing the vessel with a 23-strong group of very different people, from 20 year

        Sorry for the delays in updating, I haven't been able to get internet access for an age!

        So, the weather held out, I checked out the sights of brisbane and in the evening I took everyone out for an awesome chinese to say thanks. The next day, with the weather looking a bit dodgy (I

        Wow, it sure can rain here! After leaving the internet cafe, the heavens opened and it rained something crazy. If I remember the news correctly, 45mm of rain fell in the afternoon. I checked out the city as best I could, and bought a sexy rain coat amongst some other new clothes... Hot stuff! I made

      • Manly then onto Brisbane!
        11/03/06
        I grabbed some neat billabong shorts and hopped on the ferry up to Manly beah (sorry Jenson, it's not that sort of beach ;) ). It's not a bad town, although a tad tacky with beach shops, surf shops and even a Donner kebab place (I really was tempted!) lining the main street. The beach was

        11/01/06
        My feet were really begining to hurt: these shoes aren't that padded really, but I made my way down to the aquarium after stopping in a 'Real Ale Boutique' which served a fantastic array of specialist beers. The aquarium was pretty good, but nothing you wouldn't see on the averag
