Lazy Thursday

We spent most of Thursday in the pool here at the hotel. We both got more sunburn. We had dinner last night at The Stumbling Goat. Connie tried kangaroo and surprisingly liked it. Not only are they cute, they taste good. (:-0)

We love the Australian commercials on television. They are allowed to be a lot more suggestive than would be tolerated in the U.S. We have both been surprised into an "Ohmigosh"on several occasions. They are also reporting on the U.S. World Series which surprised us.

We have been trying to get a look at the sky at night. While in town, the light pollution prevents our seeing any unusual constellations unique to the southern hemisphere. We had formulated a plan to drive west of the circling mountains and find clear, dark skies but our lack of knowledge about the mountain roads and dangerous wildlife at night held us back. Now the weather looks bad for the next couple of days. We are going to add stargazing to our list of things to do next time we come here.

There are so many things to see and do here, it was impossible to get to them all. We intend to see Uluru (Ayers' Rock) next time also. The list is long: The Bite, Canberra, Melbourne, wilderness camping, opal mines, southern railroad, etc. Soon.
