Yeowza...Its already been two months since I posted my last blog, and I still remember writing the very first blog thinking ...OMG we made it one whole month in Brisbane!! And now, almost five months on and I haven’t even found the time to write about all of our crazy fun times in the past two months! I will try to catch you up on what we did for the first half of November....
We spent Halloween weekend in Byron Bay, strolling the streets and walking along the beaches, pretty much just chilled out. We did some surfing, big shocker...Dave is a total natural, I gave it a go and decided I made a better photographer than a surfer chick. We had a yummy dinner and decided to call it an early night. So we parked the ‘ol camper van in a parking lot that had a few other vans there and hit the hay only to be woken up by an officer pounding on the door at 5am!?! Apparently the parking lot is closed at night (notice the sign in the picture??...i know, i didnt either!!) and all other vans knew this minor detail and moved the party elsewhere while we were left in the dust and with an $80 ticket! Whoopsies...on a brighter note we haven’t had to pay it yet :)
Oh and apparently Halloween is barely even considered a holiday here, and no one bothers to decorate or dress up or even take the rug rats trick-or-treating...what fun is that?! Lame.
Melbourne Cup came and went in a frenzy. November 2 marked the day that a race (a horse race that is) stops an entire nation...literally. For the big day we up-ed the festivities at work. All of us ladies got frocked up and we had a yummy potluck lunch...everyone placed their bets and gathered around the tv in the boardroom to watch the Melbourne Cup at precisely 2:00. My pony was pretty much left in the dust, but what an exciting race, none the less!!
The pic is of my outfit, complete with fascinator (any big hair piece/hat will do...the bigger the better, also the more it resembles a bird, the better...i stuck to a totally unimaginative giant red flower) oh, and 7 layer mexican dip for lunch!
Check out these amazing views of Purlingbrook Falls! We did a mini hike (I was a trouper in uber flat gladiator sandals) through the rain forest to a gorgeous waterfall with some friends from work. I love the lush green rain forests so much that I’ve booked my parents and Dave and I a night to spend in the Hinterlands when they get here...hurry up, we cant wait for you to get to this tropical paradise!
