What a Day/Night!

So we arrived at the Storey Bridge Hotel mid-morning to a crazy crowd complete with 500 cockroaches! We sang the national anthem about 20 times and the bagpipes went all day parading the cockroaches around the racing ring....in 30 degree heat with 95% humidity yep that's right party people 95%...wow! After several attempts at purchasing a winning roach (the Cobar Cocky; Rudy Zarzof; Red Rocket Destination Anywhere) we had a winner, or at least Packy did anyway! The winning beer flowed, the victory dance was performed and we celebrated Red Rocket's win leading us to finishing up our Australia Day 2007 well into the wee hours and some very sore heads the next day.

The S/B cockroach races have been voted in the top 100 things to do of all time, so if your ever in sunny QLD for Australia Day make sure you check it out!

Happy Australia Day

Well the buzz of the minute in sunny QLD....freakin' cockroach races! Apparently it's massive up here, we'll see how that goes after a bellyfull of beer and one screaming New South Welshmen who hates the filthy things! Point of the story, we're all off to the Storey Bridge Hotel for Australia Day madness and cockroach racing. Summer tells me we can buy a roach there for $5, but Alastair was adament he was catching his own and he was going to win millions. Unlikely I say.

So, wishing everyone a happy & safe public holiday.

A Blogging Virgin

Hi There

Well I've started, my very own blog. After months of blogging with my family, now it's time for me to have my very own for you all to read about my new adventures, make comments...or tell me to suck it up and get on with it. Arriving in Brisbane after a flood of tears last week has made me realise that everyone should have one of these so we can all keep in touch and let others know what's happening in our world.

Whilst my blog very simple, new additions will be added each day.....or more likely.....every month, including photos etc etc.

So put up your feet and join me on my new adventure.....

Over & Out.
