Despite this, we did manage to walk around the city a bit. It is centred around the Brisbane River. We walked along the river around sunset and then caught a water taxi to a part of the city with nice restaurants, and we ate along the riverfront. So despite the stress of the bulk of the day, we ended up having a nice time. Brisbane was very clean and pretty and was all decorated for Christmas. I cannot get over how all of the decorations include things like snowflakes when it is almost summer.
So now it is 24th November. I am moving out of the dorms today. I will be on Kangaroo Island for the 25th and 26th, and then I am off to Tasmania on the 27th. Yay for travelling, not so yay for leaving Adelaide and all of my friends :( :( :(

Dear Laura,
Your description of the Australia Zoo was hilarious. And, I'm pretty sure that echidnas enjoy being monotremes; they wouldn't have it any other way. (It's not so bad being a primate, is it?)
But your three sad faces in a row at the end of the Brisbane blog actually alternate between happy and sad faces. Take a look.
Can't wait to hear about your adventures in Tasmania and elsewhere. Happy travels!
Love, Dad
Dear laura,
It is so great being able to travel vicariously through Australia with you.
I cannot wait to give you a hug and kisses.
Be careful in your travels and we will call you on your cell.
Love,
MOM
Laura! It's not fair. YOU get to trek around the Australia zoo being full of conflicting emotions, and I get to go to work at 5:30 in the morning and be full of conflicting emotions (it's either "I'M GOING TO KILL THAT GUEST UNTIL THEY DIE" or "OMG THAT'S ON SALE??? I MUST HAVE IT."). I like your conflicting emotions better than my conflicting emotions, because you are in Australia.
In conclusion, I would like to draw your attention to the blond girl's shirt in this comic (you might relate):
