Back from my holiday in Australia.

Was a lot of fun and met up with none other than here at dA!

We did a lot of cool stuff like;

Warner Bros. Movieworld
Sea World
Dream World
Infinity
Hard Rock Cafe
Sky Diving (I did at least)
and the movies.


=SkyebobPiepants was awesome to hang about with. We had a lot of fun together, as well as with my uncle who showed up for a few days.

Movieworld highlights included a log flume that drops you twice. The main one to the front like usual, but also a drop backwards at the start! There was the Superman: The Escape rollercoaster and the Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster also good fun!
There was also a fun street brawl in the middle of the day in the main street as the Scarecrow attempted to take over the park and Batman raced into put a stop to the Scrarecrow and his minions plan.
Though the show stealer was seriously the Stunt Drivers show. Stunt Drivers really know how to work their cars well... So many chances at accidents there in the show, yet never once hitting each other. A fantastic show to see!

Sea World had some fun things as well. Imagine is a fun dolphin show, and (in my opinion) what Believe should have been. Educational, interactive and fun to watch... I have a video of it on my YouTube page... [link] The two parts can be viewed there.
There was a guessing game as well, where the guess your age and weight. Both Skye and I did this, and while they were close for me (But I still won), they actually asked Skye what prize she wanted, as they had no idea. Their guess was miles off in the end.
The park was a lot of fun, with much more realistic looking environments and exhibits than most marine parks I've been to. It was well worth the visit! (That's also why we went back!)
Also, I proposed to Skye at Sea World...
At least that's what my uncle and Skye said that my (jokingly) comment about how wives were supposed to act. So now I'm engaged and didn't even know it... o.o

Dreamworld is a thrill seekers paradise. The Big Six Thrill Rides there are the Claw, the Cyclone, the Wipeout, the Tower of Terror, The Moto-Coaster and the Giant Drop. The Giant Drop is actually the world's largest free fall ride I believe!
There were some nasty parts, like a lot of the rides we were going on breaking downa nd having to wait a long time in the queues. And then someone spewing on the Wipeout before we got on it.
And Tiger Isaland... love those tigers there! Expect some photos sometime soon.

Infinity is so hard to describe. Best way to describe it is the legal way to get high. Laser tricky, mirrors, traps and fear enducing black corridors all rolled into a maze is the only way I can describe it.

Dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe was only worth a mention because of a funny event when Skye texted her mother to let her know what was going on.
Skye: I'm ina bikey bar with lots of nice people drinking hard liqour
Mum: You had better be lying
We were all in stiches.

And yes, it's true. Skye talked me into sky diving. She surprised me with it, and yes, I protested a lot about it. But I got up there and did it. And it was a total ball! I hope to go skydiving again in the future, as it was such a thrill!

As for movies, we saw two of them.
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaur was awesome and I highly recommend it. FAR better than the second movie which found totally lackluster. Had some really good moments and jokes that worked well.
And then we saw Alien Robot Wars: guest starring Several Tans-- I mean, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. Popcorn movie at best. It feels like Bay added explosion here, explosion there, sex appeal here, explosion over there and -- Hey! You know what would make this great? Let's add a PLOT! Seriously, the movie is bad.
Transformers that transform into humans (this scene reminds me so much of the movie Species its nuts) and stupid dopey comic relief characters...
Avoid it. I beg you.

Overall, it was a great holiday and I enjoyed it. Though there was one sad thing at the end... when my plane landed in NZ, we were delayed at landing. Paramedics had to get on the flight to help a baby a mother had accidently split boiling hot coffee on. Poor thing... We don't know what happened as we were ushered off after they got on board.


At any rate, that's over and tomorrow's back to work and back to reality.
I'm feeling creative, so I think I'll work to get all my art stuff back under control, starting with trades and contest prizes.


Oh yeah, and photos will come soon.
