f Noosa, and have made our way up the dry, hot, and desolate coast of Queensland. While we only drove, we did manage to see some very interesting "things." Perhaps the most interesting were the emus Jessie spotted in a cow pasture. But in a close second were the picturesque Queenslander homes in Rockhampton, Aside from 
having a bunch of nice homes, Rockhampton is also, "The Beef Capital of Australia!" So, you're greeted at most of the roundabouts by a giant bovine painted in some obscure color. Then again, we have to congratulate Rockhampton for creating one of the coolest playgrounds in all of Australia. It was a 
good source of entertainment for Jessie and I, after breakfast around 6AM.

That's all there is to say about Ayr, aside from the fact that Jessie and I have been working on a Mango farm here, 
and staying in a wonderful caravan park with all the amenities of home, besides a blender (would come in handy for making mango ice cream, or mango smoothies, or anything else that you can do with copious amounts of mango).

barack comes to the climate rescue like a superhero swooping down on the masses. the problem is his proposal has no guts. here is a dollar go buy some air. we can't help it if you are slow in developing--we were here first and we already used the good air so get over it.
