I completely forgot to mention last entry - I got to hand feed and pet wild wallabies! It was pretty cool esp because some had little babie heads sticking out of their pouches. They come out at night so we went to feed them at dusk. They are like a mini kangaroo and are soft like a house cat. I probably picked up some strange diseases from them..hmm... Anyway, thats really all the Aussie wildlife I've seen. I have seen a few kangaroos and some geckos but thats it. Fortunately I havent run across any of the several extremely deadly animals that central Australia is home to (like the red back spiders!) Nothing really new going on here, I'm still watching way too much Alias, eating too many "lollies" and chocolate, and pouring lotsa beer. I havent seen much of the olympics on TV but what I have seen is just strange. For one, there is snow there! I have forgotten that it is supposed to be winter! Also, the news coverage is cheering for the Aussies, well duh, cause I'm in Australia, but its still really weird after watching all previous Olympic games in the US. So I work again tonight. I am still kind of stupid and dont know what a bunch fo the drinks we carry are but its a fun job. I come across a lot of interesting people that I wouldnt normally talk to. Either people are really stupid or I have a very international look and accent because I've had people guess that I'm everything from Irish or Brazilian to Indian (Though most commonly they guess Canadian). (These were all guesses from people who were not yet drunk and had no excuse!) Ok folks thats all for now, its too hot to think straight!

G'day Mate! Whats goin on down under! It's odd you should have troubles spotting the local wildlife, for I see that there is so many a fiesty critter there on the local public television. Yes, I watch public television, Im not ashamed. What you need to do, is go out into the bush, and sit on a stump, and cover yourself head to toe in granola. No, vegamite won't work, that will only repel animals. You need granola, preferably the chewy kind with extra brown sugar. Cover your in a concoction of honey and granola, and watch the animals come to you!
Thats all the advice I have for you as of now. I dont want to over-whelm you with the intricacies of animal watching.
G'day and G'nite mate!
Carry on!
