We had dinner last night with some of Jim's new workmates and we asked them if many people swam in the Brisbane River. They told us that no one does because there are bull sharks in the river! A big, beautiful river and it is FULL of sharks (although it has been years since anyone has been killed by one, it is not comforting to think of them just lurking below the surface, waiting for the white and juicy Canadians to get in the water.)
We have spent the last 2 days walking around the city and trying to figure out where we want to live. Everything looks so close on the map, but once we start walking we run into hills or floating pathways that take us to beautiful spots that are nowhere near where we had intended to be, or we just get distracted by something new, like the gigantic vulture/buzzard/turkey bird that we saw walking on someone's front lawn...everything is new, it's like we are babies!
