Random Geo Exam Studying Break

Okay, so we have a geology mid-term tomorrow and I need a little bit of a break from studying so I thought I'd write out a blog post that we can all enjoy a little bit. I have a couple of blog ideas in the queue, but I know I'm not going to have time to upload video from the Brisbane Valley Fiesta, so instead I have some of the best signs from Australia. Some are from the zoo and others are from the bike trip I took with Amanda last weekend. There has also been a low roar from the fan base, demanding more pictures of Amanda so I threw in one of those, too.



I actually jumped a lot higher than that, but Amanda didn't quite have the reflexes to catch it on film. Claire, on the other hand, has a picture of me towering over Steve Irwin.




Saw this sign in some weird hippy, theatre area.



Crocodiles apparently have a hard time ripping through you. Instead they "clamp down" drag you to the water, drown you, and let you decompose, while they slowly snack on you. This was described in a lecture recently...



Tasmanian devils are quite shy, but keep your hands to yourself just in case.



Part One.



Part Two.


I wouldn't want to upset an emu.

I wrote the blog ahead of time - but didn't upload the picture of Amanda, because she already uploaded it...
