17.08.2005 – Wednesday 17 August – Royal Brisbane Show Holiday

Morning

• I had a pleasing and much needed sleep-in. For some time now, I’ve wanted to see the beach at Wynnum; today Bronwen and I figured we finally would. Getting to Wynnum was easy, finding the coast was easy – finding the beach wasn’t. We did find a lot of mud and mangroves though. Clint (who is currently empowered with a car) and Clus turned up after a while, and we drove around looking for beaches – concluding that there aren’t any, just a lot of mud.

Evening

• Clint, Clus, Bronwen and I stopped by South Bank on the way through the city and saw “Kung Fu Hustle”. It’s a rather strange movie – but I like the warped slapstick humour.

  Clint is "currently empowered with a car"? Holy mackerel.

  There are actually beaches at Wynnum, trust me, I lived there for 11 years :) You do need to know where to look though :P
