Hello there.
I'm currently staying in the Gold Coast with some family friends, who have a really nice house.
I arrived in Brisbane yesterday, but all we did in that time was find our way here, have dinner, and go to bed. Today however we went to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. While we have been lucky in the past few weeks with regards to seeing interesting wildlife, we saw pretty much the rest of the well known Australian animals. There were a load of koalas, although the two days ago we were doing water tubing at the Proserpine dam, and we saw a koala in a tree there. They are apparently extremely rare in that area, so it wasn't as exciting to see them today. We also did the Green Challenge, in which we climbed along wires and stuff at the treetops. We fed kangaroos as well. Last time I did that was years ago, and the kangaroo I was feeding gave me a big scratch down my arm. Luckily that didn't happen today.
And last but not least (in my mind anyway), there was a machine that lets you punch holes in coins. The machine was actually meant for imprinting designs on copper discs, but the fact that it let you punch a hole in the end result was what I liked. I ended up with a load of 5c coins with holes in them. I might end up making something with them.
Anyway, today was a good day.

We should be going to Brisbane during the week though.
And I should probably know this, but who is John Locke?
I never actually liked the show when it was on, but now it's one of my favs
The character Locke traveled to the outback to go on a "Walk-a-bout". Actually a lot of the characters are from Australia, because Oceanic flight 815 was flying from sydney when it...SPOILERS ALERT
Some guys play the PS2 version of HL in one episode, as well.
The numbers on the screen in White Forest along with the Dharma Initiative logo.
And I've always wanted to watch Lost, if only to see what everyone was going on about. Maybe I shall when we get back.
