Getting Sunburnt at Christmas & Attack of the Killer Cicada

Short update to show I'm still alive.
So we had a nice Christmas and the weather was good almost the entire day. The family came up from Brisbane and some friends from around Burrum Heads.
We started eating and drinking from around 10 'o clock in the morning, had a lot of shrimps, ham, salads, trifle, and XXXX beer. I got a nice tan yesterday, which was about time. Right now it's raining again.

In the afternoon we went to the apartment angela rented for a week and played cards and were attacked by insects called cicada's. Although harmless insects, they were about 10cm long and can make a hell of a noise. Some species of the cidada family in Queensland can produce up to 120db (!) of noise.

Right now we're going to have lunch, so I'll be updating more later.
