Short entry today, as I’m going to shower and head downtown to see Louvelle perform in front of about 100,000 people. Should be good.
Got up early, did laundry, and went for breakfast with Louvelle, then headed to the Glebe market where I picked up a sarong, which I plan on using as a beach towel for the rest of my trip. The actual towel I did bring is just too bulky for my bag, and the sarong should dry pretty quickly. Also booked my flight to Alice Springs, where I’ll head out and see Uluru. I may have something to post tomorrow, but after that I’ll probably be incommunicado for a few days, as we’re camping out in the bush. The temperature there is 40 degrees, so it’ll be toasty. I’ll try not to complain too much about the heat, especially for the Canadians reading this.
After breakfast I headed to the Broadway Mall with the hopes of picking up an hat to wear while in the desert. No such luck, so I’ll have to get one in Alice Springs. Also picked up some blank dvds so I can start mailing some photos home. I’ve taken far too many, as I’m sure you can tell – and I don’t even put them all online.
Got back to the house and dropped everything off then packed up my beach gear and took a long two hour bus ride to palm beach. Passed through a bunch of beach towns along the way. I didn’t bring my camera, so sadly there’s no photos – I was worried about it getting pinched while I went in the water. Turns out it was quite cool at the beach, and I didn’t spend much time in the water anyhow – but all in all it was a worthwhile trip. Got some reading done, so I’m onto book four or so of the trip. I should keep a list going.
As I said earlier, I might have something to say tomorrow, otherwise you probably won’t hear from me until Wednesday or so, unless I happen across a dingo with an iPhone or something.
Also, it’s Mindy’s birthday, so happy birthday to her!
