Hopping on to Brisbane...

So, this sign may have been the highlight of our 14 hour drive to Brisbane. Yup folks, a kangaroo crossing sign, and trust me they mean business. We saw quite a few kangaroos that didn't make it across the road, perhaps they should have read the sign.

It rained all the way up to Brisbane (there is a huge Cyclone that is heading this way--crazy!), and at one point there was so much rain that it actually covered the entire windshield, and to quote myself, (although the quote has changed and become more dramatic every time the story has been told) "Oh my God we are going to die, I love you Jeri!" It may have been something more like, "Oh S#&T!!" but the first was far more exciting!

Our trusty driver Drew made sure that we made it there alive, and that we received adequate levels of chocolate to keep us calm.

I don't know that there will be any more Brisbane blogs as it is about as amazing as watching water boil... okay, maybe even less.... oh well. In a few days we will be flying to the Great Barrier Reef!

oh and p.s. we did win trivia night tonight at our hostel so that added about 2 points to our stay in Brisbane, bringing the total to: 2.
