today we arrived in Armac QLD. It is officially the center of nowhere, official, i checked with the wizard of Oz. The road heading to the town continuously got worse the closer and closer we got to the town. By the time we were a few miles out it was a gravel road with dead (road kill) kangaroo’s EVERYWHERE. There was a large Emu dead on the side of the road as well. Got to see some Kango’s hopping around, most of them just stand there looking at stuff (i have no idea what they are looking at or for because there isn’t much). Saw a flock?! of Emu’s running out in the wild, must have been 5 or 6 of them, hopefully they saw there buddy on the side of the road and were running home to tell mom.
2 days of travel- eh
Last night was a big one; I felt the need to get to know my guys here on the crew so a handful of us went out, and stayed out, and then stayed out some more, I verified it personally that the bars in Rock Hampton QLD, AUS close at 2 A.M. (the gentleman’s clubs do not). I’ve never been a big fan of those establishments but the other guys certainly seem to be so what-are-ya-gonna-do, when in Rome...
The hotel that I’ll be staying in tonight is quite unique, reminds me of some back woods Hawaiian shanty village hotel; 3 twin beds (non of which have matching anything to the others), there is a small fridge and it does have half a liter of milk in it (very kind of them), and there is a small mirror, vanity thing but you can’t open the doors because the bed is pressed up against it, it’s actually quite humbling. The 12 inch combo VCR/TV that is mounted in the corner gets 2 channels, and they are both fuzzy and they are both the same channel, looks like i’m listening to Australian Football, which I actually kind of like.
The locals of this small town (300 population) welcomed us with open arms, the hotel is joined to a small bar, and behind that is a pavilion, and to welcome us they have a “barbie” (bbq) for us, plenty of fresh local food, Lamb, Pork, and Steaks, now they didn’t say what kind of steaks but someone jokingly said it was the freshest Kango steaks in town, they picked up off the road, people laughed, but I still am not sure if they were laughing because of the “off the side of the road” comment or the “Kango Steak” comment, I’m guessing it was kango, but it was good and 30+ people ate it so I’m confident all’s good.
Sorry for the lack of wit in this post but I’m exhausted and nothing’s funny...
cheers-
