Another relaxing day

It was another relaxing day in Mulwala/Yarrawanga.

I didn't do much, but Aunt Martha did happen to get me out of the house for maybe an hour, which was nice.On the way out of the house we saw some wild kangaroo (not kangaroo from the zoo) taking a little rest in the shade. It was a beautiful day for a little relax; about 75'F and sunny with a few puffy white clouds.

In the big city of Yarrawanga (which really is quite tiny, but very lovely), we went to a little bookstore where I got my ticket back to Melbourne, and a little book to boot; "Mickey Mouse and Goofy Down Under". Too cute and funny! Apparently some of this book is not Australia PC... e.g. character "Dingo Dan". *shrug* something about a dingo being a sly dog. I also paid my aunt back for my ticket to Brisbane. I'll be headed there on Wednesday the 2nd of March. It's about time I took things a little more seriously about finding work and a place to live. I was just having a difficult time deciding between Melbourne and Brisbane, but then realized that I want to get as much sun as possible; even if that means putting tons of sunblock on every day. At this point I think I'd rather put sunscreen on than a jacket.

After my aunt and my adventure into Yarrawaga, I was pleasantly surprised that all of my family was on Skype (except my little brother). It was really nice to talk to all of them and see them!!

Otherwise we spent the evening listening to news about the big quake in Christchurch, New Zealand. At this point they're estimating 300 dead. Scary.

In happier news however, dinner and desert has been delicious every night I've been here!! Thank you so much Aunt Martha!!
