That would be in Queensland at our side of the Country..... probably up north where you are. I wouldnt be surprised if the cater for people that want to do that.

Sounds like a recipe for a very sore bottom. Could be exciting though.

Another adrenalin fueled escapade comes to mind.... Driving one of those V8 Supercars around a race circuit.... you can do that at Calder Raceway here.

Been OK so far, got some house and yardwork done and discovered some new viewing pleasures which I am saving for a particularly agreeable evening ...

Comic Strip - 30 Years (documentary)

Comic Strip - Five Go To Rehab (new episode! It's on YouTube)

Charlie Brooker's 2012 Wipe (Can't get enough Charlie in my life)

Of to ... shudder ... the Hyperdome now ... I'll make it quick, need sporting gear.

Ohhh... you could add white water rafting to that list as well.
add in canyoning, scuba dive on the barrier reef, gliding and maybe blasting across a desert in a dune buggy (wouldn't bother with a hot air balloon personally and the thought of a bungy jump scares the bejaysus out of me )

We downloaded and watched that the other night

We are currently having a very nice few days down at Coolangatta. It's so nice to finally have some days off and relax a bit. The sea is like a swimming pool and the weather is perfect, which is a nice bonus

I've done the parachute jump, bungy jump and hot air balloon ride. LOVED the parachute jump and the hot air balloon ride and you get chance to enjoy them. The bungy jump was just an experience to tick off the list (we happened to be where they had the highest one in the world, so thought we may as well do it while we were there!). I wouldn't really describe it as fun in the same way.

Have also done a lot of scuba diving on the GBR which is definitely fun. And hang gliding. And white water rafting, and canyoning. Hey, I'll try anything once!

Meh. I couldn't sleep last night so didn't go to bed until 2. Then up at 7 to go have my eyebrows waxed. Done a couple of loads of laundry this morning then went out to look at new cars. I'm still undecided whether I even want a new car so dont know why I went. Then off to Drovers to buy some fresh produce and now about to go for a swim.

I've got a 60 km ride planned for first thing tomorrow morning so I hope it cools down some. It's really freakin hot here again.

I feel like crap, the worst kind of crap and it has taken me hours to clean the house and I've only hoovered and polished the living room and I'm nowhere near done

When I am rich I shall have a cleaner.
