Down under dude!

We are in a place called Brisbane in Australia. It is sunny and hot here but not as sticky as Singapore. Mummy and Daddy say that we're staying here for a while. That's cool with me because I still get to take the lift and swim every day! Also this is a pretty amazing city - they have a free boat that goes up and down the river, and I get to go on it every day!

The apartment we are staying in is really nice, it has a high up balcony, where I can watch the boats go up and down the river. I can even see the airplanes heading for the airport in the distance. But the best thing about this place is that I have my own trike....it's not as cool as the green one I have at home -this one is pink!- but I like it a lot anyway! I also have my own booster seat!

We did some napping the day we arrived, cos we were all tired. And we went for a swim and then a walk around Kangaroo Point at sunset. It is a nice place with parks and gardens and little beaches when the tide is out!

This is me and Mummy under Story Bridge (Daddy took the picture too soon - I was trying to fix my hair!)

And here we are by a pretty tree with the Central Business District in the background across the river.

I have really liked riding on the ferries, but Mummy and Daddy have been teasing me about how boring it is, as I fell asleep on my first ever trip on the boat - I'm blaming the jet lag!

Yesterday we went to the South Bank to explore. I think I am really going to like it there, they have a beach and sprinklers to play in and everything! But the first thing I saw when I got there was a huge lizard! And it wasn't even a zoo or anything! It was just wandering around the park!

Mummy says she thinks it is an Eastern Water Dragon! If it is, it's the first real dragon I've seen!

We also shared a chocolate ice cream and found a playground for me to play in

This morning, Mummy took me back to the South Bank, so Daddy could do some work. We took the boat and then shared a mango frozen yogurt smoothie and walked back over the bridge and through the Botanic Gardens. We saw more dragons and a cheerleading squad practising, they were throwing people in the air. Mummy said Daddy would be gutted to have missed out!

Then we found an even better playground! I got to ride on a rocking wombat and I could do the big slide all by myself. It was really fast and fun - I hope we can go back there again.

After that, we took the ferry home and had lunch with Daddy, then he and I went for a nap. When we get up, we are going to go swimming and I might even get to have a burger from our BBQ this evening!
