NO UNUSUAL ANIMALS YET, BUT THE USUAL FAMILIAR FOOD

It's Friday December 5 at 2:00 PM. 

Tomorrow we fly to Hamilton island for 5 days. It is a 90 minute flight Northeast of Brisbane. It will be an adventure.

However, I have now been in Australia for 3 days and I have not seen a kangaroo, wallaby, koala bear or those large Australian bats that hang from all the trees. Nor have I seen a deadly spider or a venomous snake, two species that Australia is said to have a disproportionate share of. 

I have seen a McDonald's, a place that looks a lot like a Starbucks, a KFC (I ate two pieces of chicken as a taste test--it tasted just like home) and a place that looks like a Burger King, called Hungry Jacks. Sushi is everywhere and we have had sushi each day. Noah loves it and it is a popular snack stop.

The bad news is that Australia has malls. We go to the mall most every day for something. It is the highlight of my day.

Helen and I took our first walk this morning, GPS map in hand and found a coffee/bakery shop. We will be a lot more venturesome in the next few weeks as we get our geographical bearings.
