“I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me.”

Beach bum to cow girl

Yesterday was amazingggg! We drove from airlie beach to rockhampton and a cattle farm in the bush! We were on the bus for about six hours so by the time we got there we were all ready to stretch our legs :) 

We all put on hilarious cow boy hats and went for a tractor ride. I got to pet a cow named sausage hahaha they raise Brahman cows on that farm and they have these weird bumps on their backs and huge ears! I think they look like the type of cows I see in pictures in India but I don't remember for sure. Either way they are sooo cute and I saw a few babies too! After the ride we climbed up this hill with the most amazing views and took tons of pics which are all on my camera so I don't have any to post here 

We had a big roast dinner in this hall they have with a bar and everything it was so nice! I obviously didn't eat meat lol but everyone said it was so good. I had lots of veggies and roast potatoes and stuff it was yummy! After dinner, we went outside to learn how to crack a whip!!! It was so hard and my wrist really hurt after and I didn't even make it crack lol a ton of people got it though, and some people even hit themselves and they have huge welts on their legs today! 

Then we went in and started karaoke! Oh my god it was hilarious. People were getting so into it, especially as the beers kept flowing pahaha a bunch of us sang the glee version of don't stop believin which was so fun and then I sang Jolene by Dolly Parton hehehe it was a blast! Went to bed at about 12:20 and fell asleep instantly I was so tired! 

Woke up bright and early this morning, ate brekkie and hopped on the bus. Now we are watching hangover 2 and cruising down the highway to our next stop which is Fraser Island! Ahhh I'm so excited! There is a beach party in the only bar on the island tonight and I'm already wearing my tie dye haha we are also doing a 4x4 tour of the island complete with stops at the lakes and lunch! 

So far this trip has been sooo fun! I've met some awesome people from all over the world (even Zimbabwe!) and done some really cool stuff I don't want it to end! Hope everything is good with everyone at home in canada and in Margs! Love you allll xoxoxox
