Today we had to wake up at 6:50am! for "breky" (breakfast). At our table Tara and Sean tried vegemite and swore up and down they wouldnt wish that experience on their worst enemy. After, we had a short little information session where I signed up for a weekend learn-to-surf trip. Then we all loaded up into a coach bus that drove us up the coast in into the mountains to the rainforest. All I can say about the drive, beyond it being beautiful, was that it was really really twisty.
We got to hang out with some kangaroos at the top in a nature reserve. They were sooo sweet and just wanted to lay around and be pet. I held a Costal Carpet Python around my neck! She was remarkably friendly as well, much to my surprise. Next we got to hold koalas... which is only okay if they are domesticated ones. Apparently in the wild they will rip you to shreds before you even know what hit you. Later we took a ducky tour on one of those truck/boats through the rainforest which was pretty cool. Plus we got to meet aboriginal people who taught us to play a didjeridoo and throw boomerangs.
Dinner was at the bar/saloon called the Woolshed which had a line out the door and around the block to get in. We got a steak, salad, potato, and beer for $10. I guess that explains the line. We didn't stay too long, because the next day was the dive trip!
