O'Reilly's


Well, I've been so busy with finishing off a semester of uni that I have been putting off writing a blog about a trip I made a week and a half ago. I'm now on holidays so I've run out of excuses lol :)

The Sunday before last, a friend of mine invited me to join their family on a two night holiday to O'Reilly's resort up in the beautiful Lamington National Park here in Queensland. What an awesome two days it turned out to be!




During the day times we went on bird watching (and feeding) walks, where the little finches etc would come and eat out of our hands! We went on a really long hike (as in we left at 9am and returned at 1:30pm) through the beautiful rainforest to see some waterfalls. We also went on a large flying fox which took us over the tree tops (while in a harness) and on the last day we got to see a reptile show.

The evenings were spent playing board games before some enjoyed the hot spa and others came star gazing.

Over all I had a fantastic two days and would like to sincerely thank my friends for taking me with them to allow me to have such a great two days. Even better, despite those two days being in the middle of my exam block, I still feel that I went ok with my exams lol.


Love Story meets Viva La Vida

My sister found this really awesome youtube video of one of the newer songs played by the LDS pianist Jon Schmidt. I fell in love with it as she did, it is such a nice song. Since hearing it I've also listened to other music by Jon Schmidt, which can be found on his website at www.jonschmidt.com

I'm going to try and post a link to the video that I love, but I've never done this before so bear with me and we'll see if it works!
