welll..... im in rainbow beach, with zero cell phone reception and crappy internet. but its BEAUTIFUL! too bad we're gone in the morning. the beach is glorious and I spent some time drawing today, which I haven't done in awhile, other than a short bit in Airlie. Fraser Island was amazing too.... we saw lots of wild dingos, and saw whales and dolphins from the look out.... driving on the beach is like no other experience I've ever had..thankfully I wasn't driving, but bumping around in a 4 x4 was fun anyways! too bad all 3 guys in our van didn't speak english..and were lazy. lol. but it was still incredible.
yesterday in hervey bay we were walking along the beach and saw a man fishing from shore, as they do here, and beside him was standing this talllll, long beaked pelican, which stood about to my elbow. he let us walk right up to him, the fisherman told us he was harmless. we probably got 3 or 4 feet away from him before he started looking anxious. that was really neat too. tomorrow we're off to noosa to a bush camp hostel, which should be cool. we're at pippies right now and its really quaint. and we have our own room again...
after noosa we're going to surfers for a day to meet up with alex again, and then byron bay for 2 nights and 3 days where we'll meet up with some other friends from work.
then its SYDNEY BABAY!!!! and home in 3 weeks...crazy how time flies.

love you all
