Today we went on a crap shoot. We decided to go to a waterfall to swim, and when we got there the walk to the top of it was easy, but to swim under it you had to jump down or climb down the rocky forest steep hill. I chose the hill as the people jumping were young Aussie guys. There was a rope swing down there but it was way high and John and I would not let Chloe or Guy do it. They cried (we let Tyler do it) and were miserable. So, we left. They sulked.
We went to a subtropical rainforest after that, and they cheered up because it was really cool under the canopy and we saw 3 wallabies. A wallaby is a cute little mini me kangaroo. We also heard some of the crazy bird calls, one sounds just like a baby crying and it was horrible. Tyler and I tried to imitate a sharp whistle from one, but it was too hard. The birds out here are crazy, they swoop at you and are loud and totally not afraid. I love them. There is one we keep trying to record in the morning, he sounds like he is playing a wood pipe instrument and from Close Encounters. I'll upload it if we get it!!!
Anyway, we tried to find a duckbilled platypus after that, on a boardwalk that sounded promising but we found nothing. It was sad. But we did walk a lot and had a nice day. The kids swam in the pool downstairs while I sat and read in the nice warm air with a cool breeze. Life is good!
No idea what is in store for tomorrow, but I did finally get a cold cut for lunch that I like. Hungarian Salami. YUM! Even their oreos taste different, and I am suddenly really picky about food.
G'day!
