So Long Queensland

After 3+ months of rainforest living, it is time to go home.  As I pack my bag, I think of my various Aussie adventures:  capturing 12 foot pythons, diving on the Great Barrier Reef, rolling down the escarpment with a chest full of monitor lizard, handling some of the most dangerous and well-known elapids in the world, surviving Queensland’s worst cyclone in living memory, Blue-tongue Skinks, kangaroos and betongs, sharing my breakfast with king parrots and rainbow lorikeets, and scores of other memories that will stay with me forever.  I do not leave with a sense of regret, no, I depart satisfied fully realizing all that I experienced.  I leave this land content, with a devout resolution to return to the land of OZ.
