Greetings from the future... there are kangaroos!

From now on I am going to begin cataloging experiences in list format, to save you and me the boredom of writing/reading endless paragraphs about all the cool shit I'm doing down here in Australia.  Today's inaugural list's theme is...
THINGS I'VE LEARNED ABOUT AUSTRALIA IN THE FIRST 48 HOURS:
-the moon is horizontal (like a smile)
-there are completely different constellations, don't even try to find the big dipper
-kangaroos can pause their pregnancies and restart them when there is enough food
-it is possible to go bushwacking through a park in pursuit of kangaroos
-HEAPS is the new way to say a lot
-walking on the left and crossing streets is alot harder than you think it would be
-it is an illegal offense to ride a bike without a helmet
-vegemite is a great source of vitamin b6, originating from the scum left in the bottom of beer kegs (and not entirely unpalatable)

Winter in Manly Beach, Sydney

Kangaroo tracking in Sorrento, Victoria

-there is HEAPS yet to learn and experience in this amazingly badass country, and the next 4 months are going to be a once in a lifetime experience


I have already made it more than halfway through my Saturday, so I send greetings from the future; its pretty great here.
