Tim http://www.beckenham.id.au Half-way into my trip home to Queensland, I was beginning to believe that I had become a new reincarnation of HHGTTG's Rob McKenna. This fear has been alayed by the brilliant sunshine that vapourised the remaining clouds hugging Maggie Island's peaks this morning.

With the clearing of the clouds, I managed to knock off a few of my aims upon returning to Australia. Hitting the beach at Arthur's Bay, swimming in tropical waters, and to top it off - fish and chips on the beach at Horseshoe Bay.

It was definitely a good day.

I also got to meet up with some cool wildlife in the past few days. Yesterday, Linda and I popped down to the old old old jetty next to Geoffery Bay to meet up with the resident Rock Wallaby population. This little guys are awesome. Late this afternoon, Russell & Gisela's balcony was visited by a few Kookaburras who kindly posed for several photographs by yours truly. I'll pop these up on my flickr page when I get a chance.

I've also teased a few of my mates slogging away back in Shanghai with various picture messages of those things that you don't want to see while your slogging away in your Shanghai office. Pictures of the beach. Pictures of food. Pictures of wildlife. A classy touch of goading I must own up to.

So, what's up for the next couple of days?

More of the beach of course. Catching a performance by Magnetic Island's and Townsville's award-winning choir, Aquapella (featuring Linda's Mum & Dad), cooking more Thai food for the Edwards's, sleeping, eating, snorkelling and in general, nothing much in particular.

You have to love being back at home.
