Bear Grillin'

Conor has finally arrived and despite popular belief we haven't been in trouble yet. He almost killed a child with a football but that's another story. Just been working hard and saving money. Conor has booked himself a 10 day trip to and back to Alice springs. As much as Id like to be going with him I just can afford it but now that Conor is here the real trip planning has begun. Some serious traveling will be done from the 22nd of November onwards. The basic outline of the plan is Sydney first and then after visiting family there its off to "Spot X" for a four day surfing blitz. When I say "Spot X" I really mean spot x. Its a surfing resort thats hidden away from the usual public. Exclusive to surfers. After that its off to Brisbane. This is where he plan gets a little sketchy. We will have about 7 days in and around Brisbane. I plan on meeting family there and heading a bit further north. There were a few reasons for me to coming to Australia and one of the main reasons was to visit Fraser Island. Thats defiantly on the travel list. After this we will finally rent out a camper van and drive from brisbane back to Melbourne traveling all along the coast. Its gona be awesome.

Today we took the train out of Sydney to a place called Belgrave where the Dandenong National parks are. It was awesome. We were surrounded by fresh air and forest. It was a real Bear Grills day. Trudging our way through the forest, surviving off the land....and the sandwiches we brought with us. I would love to say that there was a great view at the top of the first mountain, thats right we climbed two, but there was so much forest that we couldn't see around. I don't know why its called "One Tree Hill" there is, after some counting, clearly more than one tree. In fact the where a whole bunch of trees. Some might say it was a forest. So why not call it "Forest Hill"? The second mountain I would aptly name "Bitching climb to the water fall Hill" but its called "Sherbrook Hill" We didn't meet anyone the whole way up. It was like a scene from Jurassic Park minus the dinosaurs. Totally worth the hour long train journey.

I will leave you all with these puzzles.

How much bear could Bear Grills grill if Bear Grills could grill bears?

How much bears could Bear Grills bear if Bear Grills could bear bears?
