Alek and I are currently staying at a 3 level holiday home in Hakws Nest with our neighbour and her son and son’s gf.  It’s a very nice place.  I was on a mission to see a Koala (other than a zoo or some other animal park) and a dolphin before we leave on Saturday.  Alek and I set off for a walk to the Koala reserve in search of a real koala living amongst the gum trees.   After a while I thought this may have been one of those local jokes.. you know… watch the tourists walk around, searching the trees for a grey furry animal.. I was a little paranoid that the locals were sitting in their homes and laughing at us when I spotted one.  It was amazing to see.  Unfortunately my camera wouldnt zoom in enough to see him but we stood there watching him for a while.  I was no longer paranoid because if someone queried me we could prove we found one!!  One lady did ask if we found one and also told us about some very large goannas that roam around at night.  We weren’t sticking around to meet these fellas.. 

On the way home from our hour long walk we spotted 8 pelicans, a bloated, very smelly puffer fish and a freaky looking very dead sting ray that had features of a human skull..  I wonder what we’ll see tomorrow..

I’m away at the moment and finally have access to the internet. When I started this weight loss thing I thought I would want to update the world on every 100 grams that I lost.  I think its now been 10 or 12 weeks. I’ve lost 12 kgs and 10cm from my waist and dropped 2 – 3 dress sizes.  I think I have about 10 kgs to go. I guess the strangest part is sometimes I dont feel like I have lost anything, sometimes I feel as though this is all a big game, someone is playing a joke on me. The scales are set up to appear like i’ve lost weight and someone has changed all my clothes for larger ones so it appears I’ve lost weight but that’s a whole other story for another night.
