I've been waking up at 7am every morning and not being able to get back to sleep, especially as I crave a lie in!
By the way, here's me at the Shot Tower yesterday. I don't know if I said, but it's a pretty cool place. It's a 30m or so tall tower where they used to make lead shots for shooting. They melted lead (called it poison lead as it had arsenic in it, duno why) dripped it through a sieve at the top of the tower. It fell down the middle of the tower and formed a near-perfect sphere, which dropped into a pool of water to cool, and was then sieved to get the right sizes separated. Anyway, here's a pic of me at the top. The walkway is completely overhanging, Phil is too wimpy to go up, and even the great Mark Collins wouldn't go to the edge. there was a 12 year old girl running around up there! Dad you're rubbish! Pfffffft!
nb. Thankfully this picture doesn't display "Underwear Cam" !
Retreat! Retreat! Meet me by the quayside.
I've had Eggs n Bacon every morning I've been in tas!
This morning, after e+b Phil and I went to smash in some glass windows. We scoured the windows and then nurtured them out. Cool stuff.
This afternoon was great, we went deep into the forest to the Tahune Forest Airwalk. The airwalk itself is a large walkway, up about 30m above the ground that does right up into the canopy. It was rather good. The highlight was this eagle flying thing in the picture. It flew right up over the Picton River, I got a good view. It was quite scary though, about 30m up and it brought you right back down.
Here's the walkway thing. We went with Mia, a family friend, and we all pretended to be a family, to get the family pass! Thank god they didn't ask me any questions, if I answer they'd soon find out I wasn't aussie!
You can see the walkway above, where at the end it isn't supported from below, we were bouncing up and down to test the cables.
Have to go, the Mayor is coming round for dinner! :-0
