Thanksgiving Week In Australia

[AUSTRALIA 1.0 GALLERY]

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,
Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

Ya know, that song seemed so quaint many years ago. Even though I could probably sing along with the whole song I never really knew the lyrics. Now I get it. It’s all about the Australian mystique wherever you are in the world. On that note I’m off to Queensland, Australia for Thanksgiving. Hopefully some of that will rub off on me. Peruse the gallery of my first trip to Australia. 87 degrees, and that’s the water. I went. I saw. I splashed around. Sit in your sad little office and wish you had gone. Bwa ha ha ha….
