Gold coast and the rainforest

School has officially started in Australia! OH, MY! It is such a hinderance from the beach ;) Just kidding Mom and Dad! I have been having such a great time. School is hard, but not as bad as it would be if I was in Searcy.

We went to Binna Burra Rainforest the other day! It was a crazy experience. When we got there we were taken to our rooms. We open the door and oh my. It was about as big as our rooms at the Outback. But with FIVE more beds in it. Let me tell you...it was quite the experience! When I hear the about the rainforest I think warm weather...not in our case. It was freezing!! SO SO COLD! We ate a great dinner and then listened to a talk about the lyre bird. Then headed off to have Milo (their verison of hot chocolate...not as good) and Tim Tams! Tim Tams are these cookies and I don't know how else to describe them but as yummmmmmyyy! :) Then it was off to bed. The next morning we got up and got ready to go on a 13 mile hike.  It was so cold still. We hiked, and hiked, and hiked... It really was beautiful! God is so so good! It was such a neat thing to get to do.

Sunday after the rainforest a big group of us decided to take surfing lessons at Surfers Paradise.  What an experience!! It was crazyyyyy. The day we went was a really windy day! Which means really rough waters. It was so much fun! I got knocked down a whole whole lot. The waves killed me! haha But it was so much fun! :)

So far I love Australia, its been such a great experience and such a blessing!

More to come, more frequently too :)
