Alright, I know, I havent posted in AGES, sorry about that! I´ve even written a couple posts but I didn´t post them because there is one New Zealand footprint that I wanted to post before. And that hasnt even happened yet, I know its a bit stupid. So now theres gonna be a whole flood of footprints and information, so I better get on with it. Alright, here we go:

G'day ma mates,

I cannot belive its been 2 whole months already, that I've spent in sunnysunny Australia! There's a lot to catch up on, so let's go! Uh, no, wait, before I get into it, there's gonna be one more footprint about my last few months in New Zealand, but getting the pictures for it ready is still a work in progress, so thats gonna be up in a couple of weeks probably. But now: Australia! Where do I begin?

Maybe I should clarify that I was pretty much scared shitless of the Australian snakes and spiders and all the other deadly wildlife. So after getting off my flight, that I spent talking to a cool maori guy, I tried to find my way to the hostel in the middle of the night, looking out for any animal that could be in the air on the streets, in the trees, bushes, you get the gist... 😂 As it turns out though, you DO NOT SEE POISONOUS SPIDERS DANGLING FROM EVERY BRANCH AND SNAKES SIZZLING OVER EVERY OUNZE OF GROUND😂😂😂 I have seen one snake (a harmless treesnake that crossed my path and let me have the right of way) and a few funky spiders but it's honestly no big deal. So if you hear horror storys of Australia, it's either about stuff that happens in the north or in the bush/countryside or the freaky stuff that can happen anywhere but that is rather rare.
You just keep a lazy eye out and don't go waltzing through trees and the bush barefoot and in short clothes. Just respect nature and it's wildlife and you're pretty much on the safe side😂

So Brisbane got a bit boring after the first few days, although it was very interesting having this massive change from New Zealand 'cities' and wildlife to Australian CITIES and WILDlife haha. White cockatoos flying around alone and in huge groups. Lorikeets screeching in the trees, wild turkeys roaming the streets of the big cities and African sacred ibisisesis - what's the plural of ibis?!? - flying and sitting and nesting eve-ry-where! So many funky birds, that's probably what I love most about Australia, the wildlife and especially the birds❤️

Not much more to say about Brisbane, soooo off to the next footprint ;)Read more
