Waterfall swimming

So, last night like I said, I was really looking forward to the night canoeing. Instead of getting to go night canoeing, I got sick. I swear it was something I ate but the boys ate the same thing as me and didn't get sick. So I have no idea what it was. I felt terrible all night and slept with a bucket by my bed. But when I woke up I felt fine.

Today, we went on what they call a bus tour. But it really wasnt much of a bus tour. The first stop we went to look at these massive fig trees. I wish I could put up pictures to show you all how cool everything is but it wont let me. So I will have to make an online photo album when I get home to show everyone. After the trees, we got to go to another waterfall. But this time we could swim under it. It was so cool. This was the waterfall that the herbel essence commercial was filmed at. The one with the girl and the waterfall, that flips her hair up and the water sprays everywhere. Paul, the hostel owner and our guide, took our pictures while doing this and it looks exactly like the commercial. Getting so close to a 150 foot waterfall and swimming under it was breath taking. Not only the view was breath taking, but you literally could not breathe because of how fast the water was flowing down. Probably one of the coolest things I have done and seen in my life..besides the 700 foot waterfall yesterday.

The rest of today is a free day and tonight is the state of origin rugby game. Which is North Queensland vs. new South Wales. This is supposed to be the biggest game of the year in rugby. We all went and bought maroon shirts (they say 'marone' and not maroon) to wear tonight. We are going to go to the only pub in Yungburra and try to understand the rugby match.

Tomorrow, we go to our homestays. I have a family that has all these farm animals and supposedly we have to shave and cut off sheeps tails? Interesting. I met the young 3 year old girl today and all she says is 'bloody bastard' might be the most comical thing I have ever listened to. I can't wait! We will be there for 2 days and then off to camp in the outback. I probabyl won't have internet for the next four days unless my family has interent. Obviously, I will not have it while camping.

cheers.
