Wir Haben Geflogen

We have been in Canungra four days, and we finally flew today. We had to wait until the afternoon before the wind backed off, and then we got a nice flight from the Beechmont launch. The locals are excited about the conditions tomorrow - they launch from Beechmont at 8:30 am on the best days and then they fly west all day long and try to break the site record (PG 177km, HG 500km).

Special Things Canungra Has to Offer:

They got some insanely huge bugs here - I saw a severed head of a beetle that was bigger than a golf ball. They got ticks too - one latched on to Heike's neck yesterday, it was right on the juggler vein! I should have taken a picture of Kate ripping it out of her head with a pair of tweezers, what was I thinking...

Hopefully tomorrow I get to see some of this country from above.

Stay Tuned!
