Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it?

where to start... Queensland.
I went to Queensland over the school holidays for a couple of weeks, which was much fun.
We stayed at Mooloolaba, on the Sunshine Coast.
My bro turned 18, and mum and dad gave him $1000 as a present, which he then spent on a new laptop. It's a beast. He called it Furphy.
On one of the days, we drover up, up, up to a place called Rainbow beach, north of Noosa, and drove down the beach back to Noosa. Much fun. My dads a nature photographer. Not!
We went to Eumundi Market, where I bought pretty things.
And Brinsbane. Woot for panoramas. I got a 360* panorama, that I will upload soon. Very awesome.
Many pictures were taken, I took over 200 in a day ^_^
Then on the way back we stayed in Canberra for 3 nights, and visited the War Memorial, The National Gallery (we saw the Turner to Monet Landscape Exhibition; OMG awesomeness) and the High Court. *Note* at the War memorials, there is a 100 metre wall with thousands of names of Australians who died in WWI, which spanned for 4 1/2 years, and a single plaque with 2 names on it for the whole Iraq war. Just think about that.
And then we got back. FUN.

and for the last 3 weeks, school, Kate and Homework. Oh great fun. Well, at least Kate is.

Yesterday, Kate, Meg and I went into the city to see a medieval manuscript exhibition at the state library. Much fun. We walked lots, and I learned of the tree.
