Happy birthday! I hope you get to watch, do or read something that you like. Sometimes we’ve got to do the heavy birthday lifting ourselves. Don’t forget the cake or treat! ❤️

Not sure if it’s in your list, but the hot dog places were immensely popular and quite cheap when we were there a few years ago. Bæjarins Beztu was very tasty. Ate hot dogs with crispy onions and remoulade A LOT when we got home to recreate them. Even if you can’t take them with you during the day tours I’d recommend trying it out anyway.

Bill Bryson’s travel books, especially A Walk in the Woods and Down Under.

Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. Like the whole thing. Can’t pick a favourite.

David Sedaris - Me Talk Pretty One Day

John Birmingham - He Died With a Felafel in his Hand

Fun fact, the southern hemisphere summer occurs in perihelion (when the earth is closest to the sun) combined with Australia’s position mean we get about 15% more UV than the northern hemisphere apparently. https://theconversation.com/how-does-the-ozone-layer-protect-earth-from-radiation-9206

I read the headlines on Brisbane Times. If I’m on desktop I can read the articles via private browser. Otherwise ABC. The Guardian has a QLD section but it’s not usually breaking news.
