Queensland has welcomed Master Yoda with a trip to a BBQ Steakhouse. Pics to come.
On his Queensland Itinery:
- Visiting "Surfer's Paradise", the main suburb of the Gold Coast (Where the Champ Car/Indy Cars race).
- Having more trouble[edit- fun!!] on an Aussie beach - I'll try to keep the Meter Maids off him.
- Visiting Australia Zoo, the home of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin.
- Visiting the "Ettamogah Pub", a comical, stereotyped, but traditional Aussie Pub.
- Taking in a "Bar Wars", a pub crawl in Brisbane City (hopefully with the visiting Jedi_Nat, a recent host of Yoda's from Western Australia - the one who took him to the Cricket).
Yoda's stay is based in South-East Queensland, where the majority of the population is. It's a very large state, the 2nd largest in Australia behind Western Australia. The distance from LA to Seattle is 1135 miles by car, the distance from the south border of Queensland to the north point of Queensland is over 1650 miles by car!
I'm glad to report that he's not met any Drop-Bears, yet. Must be the Vegemite he's enjoying.

Oh no! Not a Ford! I'll have a pic of him in a Holden to post, too!
(In Australia, there are fans of the big sporty V8's made by either Ford or it's General Motors rival, Holden.
More updates to come.

*Raises Hand* I DO!!!!!! And, actually had Miana bring me some back!! There now you know ONE person not born in Australia that truly enjoys Vegemite.  
Actually was first intoduced to it when Koala Blue was down on Melrose in LA. (Also got hooked on those chocolate Koala bears with the caramel inside. LOL) This was during my "Men At Work" die-hard fan days.. (ok.. STILL a die-hard "Men at Work" fan."
Hey also thanks for taking him over to the zoo. If there is ANY way to get pics with him and Terry and the kids, would really appreciate it. Especially since we have pics of him with so many other famous people!
THANKS!!

Vegemite is essentially the same thing that's on Twigletts right?
If so then that would make my whole family a fan of them. Only hubbie was born in the UK, rest of us are US
I've not tried it by itself though.

OMG! I met upo with Yoda whilst on holidays in Brisbane!!!! I was so happy to see him again. He was happy to see me again too! The little Master drank Midori and lemonade, and somehow made his way into a baby seat! Then he had a group photo with the QLD FF and me!

Yoda visited somewhere special today...
Pics to come.
My apologies, the Irwin family was not at the Zoo today.
I did, however, convince one of the Crocodile handlers to do something special...

Hey just seeing that pic and knowing that he's there made me tear up a bit (in a good way).
YOU ROCK!!!

I thought the idea is to let Yoda sample the local animals, not let the local animals sample Yoda
Will be good to see pics. Hope Yoda's having fun
