So long Australia and thanks for all the prawns on the barbie!

Our time in Brisbane is approaching its end.... Australia has been good to us; the wonderful cities, the scenery, the variety of food available, the cute animals including possums & the creepy bats and the people.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working as a barista for both the cafe's where I work... I enjoyed living within walking distance to the city and riding our scooter to remote areas, sometimes being honked at by the people we are holding up. I love the different suburbs surrounding the city each with their own great qualities.  I love timtams, 'morning tea' & 'afternoon tea.'  I will miss flat whites & long macchiatos (not my favourite type of coffee drink but still).

Melbourne and Sydney are awesome and would love to someday visit both cities again.  Although vegemite is disgusting, I will miss the idea that it is easily accessible in the off chance someone has held a gun to my head forcing me to eat it in exchange for my life.  I will miss all the asians who have australian accents... they are the best.   I like using the metric system and driving on the left side of the road.  I also like when I sound fancy saying glass, bananas & tomato the australian way. I will miss the way people refer to me as 'mate' even though it makes me feel boyish. Terms like 'too easy' 'ta' 'pardon' 'having a nap' 'how are you going?' 'whereabouts?' 'eski' 'supa' 'brekky' 'cuppa' 'do you / I reckon' will be kept in a special place in my heart.  I will miss having the accent, in a land full of accented peoples.

Most of all I will miss all the friends we have made in this wonderful country... memories and friends for life.  All of the people we have met here have left an imprint in our heart and we will miss them all dearly.

Brisbane has been amazing to us... we expect the same from our next adventures in South America!
