Thursday 12th April, Eak flew off to Brisbane for the day. The flight from Emerald to Brisbane is roughly 1.5hrs long and luckily it was another gorgeous day in sunny Queensland!

The very flat and expansive area of Central Queensland.
He rocked up to the Qantas Club in Brissy a few hours the lounge had a complete buffet and bar area. Needless to say, free beers, food and cakes were slaughtered by Michael - Classic!
Free Beer, Free Food and Free Net = Sweet As!!
Then that Thursday night at the local Mayfair Tavern we have been attending the weekly quiz. Our team name, 2 K's (Two Kiwi's). We didn't place in the quiz but they have a team "True or False" round which Eak won two rounds of, and he won two bottles of wine!! Man what a sweet day, here I am in all my finery, holding my well earned free wine bottles. Won by using useful & obscure general knowledge and a small amount of doing what they guy next to me was doing.
That weekend we decided to take a trip to the Blackdown Table Lands (as seen from above in the earlier pics). It was a bit of a trek from Emerald, about 2 hours drive, but it was really cool - we were on the look out for snakes but still none to be seen, sneaky snakes! Its 1000m above sea level so it was an awesome place for the Aboriginal people to live.
There were some trippy big ass rocks on the track and some old Aboriginal paintings on the rock face. There was a good campground up there and a few tramping tracks around, which is where we saw these Aboriginal hand paintings. The roads are rough, luckily Hugo handled the ride. Would be worth camping there for a few days, very tranquil.
Eak has been busy picking watermelons, a very sweaty and a hard job. We are just ticking along at the moment, but things might be looking up!
xxxx Love Shahn & Eak
