Dateline: Boonah 5:10AM Local Time [6:10AM Sydney Time]<\/p>\n
Last night I was told that the noise I thought was birds were actually fruit bats. They really love this entire area, but are more endemic around the Gold Coast area to the east of here. [Speaking of which, it was sort of cool to see a sign saying ‘Gold Coast: 80KM’ when I went to Boonah last night.]. I was told that if I pointed the torch towards the trees I would see them hanging on the branches upside down. <\/p>\n
Yesterday we could see a whole lot of rain down at the lake a few KM away, but most of it bypassed us on the hill. This morning this rain has caused the entire area to be filled with a mist that might restrict out ability to go flying. Subject to conditions I will be flying this morning in a two seat glider. This will be interesting since I have never been in one. Hot air balloons yes. Gliders no. <\/p>\n
I was going to post some photos of the area today, but I realised I forgot to bring the USB cable to download pictures from the cameras memory card. This means I will need to wait until I get home to download these and upload them to the Web Site. <\/p>\n
I think I forgot to make one last comment about the virgin flight. Once again I got a seat without anyone next to me. Seems that most times I fly this happens. I am certainly not complaining. This is good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
