showers are great!

May28200810:01 a.m.

Well we have been in the wilderness for 3 days.  Fraser Island was wonderful.  I have brushed up on my 4x4 driving skills and my dingo awareness skills!   Note to self - dont fry sausages outdoors after dark on Fraser Island! Have been swimming in several lovely lakes, slept  in tent for 2 nights and coped admirably except for the dingo incident.  Dingo-gate!
Thus havent run since Brisbane but that was fab.  Ran for approx 9 miles with John on bike torturing me with hills.  Beautiful city with great running routes.  Our campsite was a bit out of the city so we had to go swimming after to get a shower which I enjoyed but not as much as the shower after we came back from Fraser Island covered in sand!

  • katie73 'We were incredibly stupid and left out the gas grill after we fried sausages (in the dark). We were lying in the tent and just after we put out the lamp, we could hear scuffling outside. I tried to convince myself that it was the wind ruffling the ground sheet but then we could hear whimpering! OH It was so scary - didn't really sleep at all that night. Also saw snakes in the bush when we were out for a walk. They give you all this advice about what to do if you see a dingo and what to do if they attack you. This puts the fear of god into you before you go and then we go and do something as stupid as that. I can laugh about it now but oh my, I wasnt laughing at the time.. I will tell you about John causing a one-legged man to fall over on the beach when I get home. I could wee myself laughing everytime I think about it. I clearly amnt thinking in Occupational Therapy philosophy anymore!' added 30th May 2008
