Last Tuesday, we left Murphy's Creek at 6.30 am for a two-day trip to the Sunshine Coast, where we met up with Alan's American friends Glenn and Janet. The thermometer in the car indicated it was going to be a cold day: zero degrees Celsius and we were all rugged up. Once at the Coast, however, it was a warm 24 degrees...
We spent Tuesday at Australia Zoo, where we saw otters, elephants, crocodiles, eagles, kangaroos, snakes, wombats, tigers and many more.(see photos) A great day was had by all. The entry to the zoo is not the cheapest (52 dollars per person) but it has to be said that the animals live there in wonderful conditions and have a lot of space and a "natural" environment.
On Wednesday, after saying goodbye to Glenn and Janet, who were heading up north, we took to the beach. On one of the shortest and coldest days of the year, Alan and Tom went in the ocean...
We got home on Wednesday night very tired...and Alan had to hit the exams straight away...after a last great effort last night ( until 2 am), the holidays are finally near.
