On the road again

Today I return to Brisbane. Meeting a new hire, checking in with a client and perhaps meeting another for the first time.

I've been invited to spend the weekend on the Gold Coast. Then to Sydney for 2 days.

The upside down factor has become natural. It no longer seems odd to me that it's getting warmer, rather than cooler. That the kids just finished a Spring break.

I am most definitely with Kangaroos. I love how they lounge under trees together. How they sit up and look at you, just watching. How they hop along. They are both majestic and fun, a great combination.

What does seem odd is that people are not permitted to own cats. I'm not sure if it's just in some neighbourhoods or places, or if cat ownership is a nation-wide thing.

When cats were first brought her, some got out the door. Like all animals or plants released in Australia, they thrived. They killed things. Lots of things, especially birds. I believe that this is the only reason that would keep me from living here. Well, that and the fact that my family isn't here, or my friends (although I am making new ones!).

Birds, a shipwreck and new friends will be the topics of my next posts. If only I can find time to get the photos off my camera.

  1. It seems cats are allowed, though Australia seems to have a ban on Savannah cats? There seem to be strict regulation of cat owning, but it's allowed. Are people telling you otherwise? Odd...
