destination Kingaroy

We hit the road to Kingaroy the very next morning and almost killed the biggest snake I’ve ever seen that was trying to cross the road in front of us. This was a monster … a very lucky one and at least 2.5 meters long. Brown snake – really dangerous. Unfortunately it all happened so fast that I didn’t manage to take a picture. We finally made it to Kingaroy and I was able to see the place on the dark side. A magic place in the middle of nowhere with some sort of special atmosphere. The grumpy club house, sleeping facilities, couple of hangars. There is something about this place. We rigged the pussy glider. How come we call it pussy glider? Some would think – because Ziggy is flying it. But no. It’s a pussy glider because a pussy can help you rig it. Thanks for the help Zig ;) Anyway we rigged it quickly and placed in the hangar … which Ziggy forgot to close before we left. He spent the next two days calling everybody he could think of to ask him to lock the hangar. But in the end … he succeeded.
We decided to continue to Brisbane the same day and spend the remaining two days in the civilization on the coast. It’s been pure relaxation, discovering the city, swimming in the hotel pool, having sushi for dinner and shopping ;) I decided not to leave Australia without a real kangaroo skin hat and the typical Australian boots. As an addition to the shoes I got a saltwater crocodile leather belt. Now I’m all equipped and picked up some ozzy words. It’s kind of hard to get the accent figured out. I’m gonna work on this one next January in Narromine …
