Worst tour today, so boring I was asleep within minutes of hopping on the coach. The only fun bit was seeing the guide play the didgeridoo. Speaking of which, I bought a CD featuring the didgeridoo, mixed with dance beats. Sounds rather nice. I got a packet of chocolate-covered almonds and a bottle of cordial at the vineyard. List of gifts so far: Chocolate (godparents), cookies (class), cordial (Mr Purvis), nougat (cell group and guitar section). I'll probably buy another box of chocolates for my OG and to supplement the class's cookies. We went to the Healesville Sanctuary, but it wasn't much fun due to the rain. The tour of the place was rather rushed anyway. The guide told us some really neat stuff though! Did you know that the kangaroo can stop the development of its young in gestation if conditions are not conducive to its survival?
