Today is my
last day in Glass House Mountains. Tomorrow Im flying to Melbourne from the
Sunshine Coast Airport.
I wanna
thank everyone at the hospital, volunteers, vets, nurses, other staffmembers
for the wonderful experience. I was privileged to work with the Australian
wildlife in one of the biggest and maybe the best wildlife hospital on the
planet.
Also a big thanks
to my housemates Amber, Pete, Didge, Sabi and Sweetie. Keep on digging J
Ok, what
happened since my last message
On New
Years Eve we had a poolparty (thanks Brook), so I spend the first houres of
2011 in the pool. How cool is that J.
The 2nd of
January we (Amber, Richard and me) went herping (reptile-spotting) in the
evening. We saw a lot of animals in the hills near Maleny. We saw a Scaly-foot lizard, a Bandy Bandy-snake, three
Spotted Velvet Geckos , two possums, a Barn owl, a couple of dead snakes and a
fat frog J
My last days at
the hospital were really great. I spend a lot of time inside the hospital and
saw a surgery on one of the koalas (Adam). These two months
have been very beneficial for me as an assistant-vet.
And btw:
Marsupial are cool!!
After my last day at work we had a nice bbq at our house for everyone...
This weekend I
stayed fore a couple of days with really nice people at Hervey Bay (thanks
Nat) We went jet-skiingand
skimboarding on Friday.
Saturday and
Sunday I went to Fraser Island for a 4WD-tour (four-wheel drive). The island is the
largest sand island in the world. and the summum in 4WD-country...
We went on an
amazing rain forest walk, swam and sun-baked at Lake McKenzie, looked at a
dingo, saw the 75-years old shipwreck Maheno, spotted the fish at Eli Creek,
ect
Now Im packing
my bags to leave the Sunshine Coast.
Ill spend a
couple of days in St. Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne. And Monday (March 24th)
I start the Great Ocean walk in Apollo Bay. A seven-day walk (110km) trough
forest, on rocks and beaches and next to waterfalls with a tent on my back,
stove in my backpack and tablets to treat the rainwater so I can drink it. I finish this
trip on Sunday 30th.
After the Great
Ocean Walk Im going to Tasmania, but more about this in a next message
