Still in Rockhampton

I didn't go out to Carnarvon Gorge. I have many excuses but the real one is that Tottenham play Liverpool in the Champions League final tomorrow morning, and there is no internet at Carnarvon Gorge so I wouldn't be able to watch it.

The other reasons are:
* It is too hot to ride today.
* It is too cold to ride today.
* It isn't worth packing up to ride out there only to have to set up again in the same place.
* It looks like it might rain.
* Carnarvon Gorge is actually a 25km walk (close to the real reason).
* All the campsites on the way out appear to be gravel related (old gravel pit, gravel dump, off road gravel site, ex gravel pit... I'm not making these up). They aren't very enticing. One is called a Womble Pit, which I'm curious about. Do Wombles live in gravel?

I'm really glad I didn't go out there because it started to rain last night and has been raining all day today. So I'm just laying around watching Chernobyl and reading.

Yesterday I went the Rockhampton Zoo. It wasn't bad considering it was free. Saw some chimps and then the rest were the obligatory Australian animals. There was a creepy one eyed koala.

Oh, and the people I thought were speaking Czech were actually Polish and were very nice. They invited me to join them for breakfast.
