Boondall Wetlands

Jump to reach the skies!!!!

The sun was shining and the the skies were clear. I needed to bum up driving hours up (In order to sit for my learner's driving test, I gotta have 100 practise driving hours. I'm up to 65 hours, more than half way!!). So Josh hopped advised our faithful search site, Google and found this place. Off we went towards the north of Brisbane away from the bustling city. However, the wetlands did not turn out to be as serene and away from civilization as we imagined it to be. It was situated right next to the highway and it seems that no matter where we walk, the sound of zooming vehicles was unescapable. On the bright side, there were certain parts of the boardwalk where the scernery was just gorgeous and one of its kind. The main thing was that we had fun.......and I got more driving hours. =)

She enjoyed tromping around the overgrown grass to look for wild flowers

A flower known by the name of Pig Face. Supposed to be used as food and medicinal purposes by the Aborginals .

A type of plant that thrive on salt water.

The 2km boardwalk which lead us out to the wetlands.

We attempted to do a jumping shot with Tash which ended up with.............

Josh literally "giving her a hand " to help her along.

Exhausted after the jumping shot....lolz..

That's all for now folks.......oh yeah, Singapore's National day is coming up isn't it.....Hmmm....this have got to be the fourth consecutive year of me being away for it. I was never a big fan of it growing up except for looking forward to the parades which my Dad (being in the military then) was able to get free tickets every year. Now, I miss seeing the red and white flags hanging off HDBs and also the atmosphere on the day itself where most people would have a BBQ and a get together to take advantage of the holiday. However, this year might be a slightly different for us. Josh got to know a Singaporean guy, Mervin, in the reservist who had organized a national day buffet lunch at the Stanford (quite a nice hotel) where he had invited quite a number of Singaporeans to go along too. Will update on how that went too. Till then, ta ta.................
