More and more wildlife

We were on the bus to work this morning when, at the first bus stop, we saw a young kangaroo hop across the road! This was the first 'roo not in captivity that I've seen so I was, understandably, very excited :) After work, waiting at the same bus stop for people to be dropped off, Vince rescued a young turtle attempting to cross a road which we let into the nearby creek when we had everyone. Again, the first wild turtle I've seen in Oz :) I've also finished work *does victory dance*. I leave tomorrow on a gruelling 26 hour bus trip to get to Brisbane (a few facts here. I will be on a bus, discounting stops, for approximately 18 hours of travelling to get to, not the country capital, nooo, just the STATE capital. I don't know quite how far it is but it's a long way. And Cardwell is approximately only half way down the coast of Queensland. This is a BIG country). Mum gets here in just under 3 1/2 days, I can't wait! Today has been a good day.
