We went on our first tourist trip the other day 40km away from where we staying to the small town of Kyabram. The first thing that caught my eye about the place is they have a par 3 golf course... EVERY hole is a par 3!!! Thinking that par 3s are usually my best holes I was keen and thought that I would dominate this course! Some greens I couldnt reach with my driver and I didnt get a single par (which can only parlty be blamed on course difficulty unfortunately). It wasnt the nicest course I've ever played on but it was different and pretty and more than playable :)
The other thing that took us to this little town was what it is most famous for: the second best Australian fauna park in Victoria (not bad for a little town). So off to learn about real authentic Aussie animals and see them in real life.
Koala, wombat, wallaby, kangaroo, tasmanian devil not in that order!
We both enjoyed the koalas the most and there was even one with a baby which was cute. The little shaded area where we had our picnic lunch was potentially a feature that helped im us liking the koalas since it was a stinking hot day! It was a lovely trip and we spent hours walking around together looking at the various animals. The reptile centre was not our favourite because I was sure the crocodile was about to escape its tiny enclosure and there were too many snakes to be in James's comfort zone!! Neither of us had seen a tassy devil before so that was interesting too. We went back to our humble abode cheerful and relaxed after a fun day out in the sun :D
We really struggling to find a job and hoping that the weekend and start of new week will bring us more luck. I read a quote this morning saying life starts at the end of your comfort zone. I dont think it was reffering to not having a job but it still encouraged me and not all parts of this trip were going to be easy so we learnign to tackle things bit by bit. It is still really hot sitting round 34 degrees so im off to have a swim. Have a good weekend peeps :D
