Thought I would spread the information out just a bit more :)
so what's next will I caught up with Nathalie several other times, we went shopping in the Stockland mall, and on another day we check out the North Queensland Army Museum, which I just loved,..\
On 25th April I got up early and caught a taxi to ANZAC park on The Strand to attend the Townsville Dawn Service, and also the 100 year marking of the landing a Gallipoli in 1915, it was a great service, got to sing both the New Zealand (in Maori too) and Australian National Anthems, although where I was standing I'm certain I was the only one singing New Zealand's one :) :D
Afterwards I went back to the house and tried to see if I would have a sleep at all, never happened, I ecded up watching the dawn service at Gallipoli live stream, and just relaxed.
Later I got ready to go to the awesome as concert of Ricky Martin which I enjoyed so much, took me for ever to get to sleep when I got home, I was just buzzing with energy.
On the 26th I meet up with Nathalie and we went down to the rock pool, and then on the 30th I caught up with her again and this time I went to magnetic island for the day, first we went around to Picnic Bay and looked at the little museum there, following by heading around to Geoffrey Bay where we had some very yummy, real Italian made pizza, it was really really good. After lunch we went and walked around Alma Bay for a bit, and then walked back to the ferry terminal for me to head back home.
On the 17th May I caught up with Henna again and we meet up with another Au Pair Océane, we met up at a café and sat around an chatted for a while and then we ended up going to see the Army Museum and the Aquarium, it was a pretty fun full on day.
On 22nd May I had to get up nice and early to catch one of the first ferries to Magnetic Island, as I was going to Horseshoe Bay to meet up with Nathalie and go horse riding, the ride was so much fun, got to ride lovely horse called Jack, got to have a go at doing some trotting, and we rode along the beach and then got to go swimming with the horses which was a fun and new adventure.
After horse riding we went to alma bay for our favourite pizza, and a swim, then we played uno for a bit on the beach and had slushies, the day was a lovely day, and before we headed to our homes we went and saw some Rock Wallabies which are just so adorable.
Once I got home my leg and thigh muscles were pretty sore,
and then on the sunday of that weekend we went too the Flinders St market in the centre of Townsville.
on the following day, Esmee, Jonathan and I went to look around the billabong sanctuary . that was pretty awesome.

Update Part 2
So following on from my update which was ages ago, but don't worry slowly catching up with everything, except maybe writing letters to friends overseas, but I will get there. :)
So after my trip Magnetic Island, got quite busy with doing many other things, especially with looking after Jonathan and too with the fact of having the house more moved in slowly more and more boxes started to disappear, so we could move around the house just fine, also had to get the exterminator in twice.
fridge had also broke so until we got a new one, we had to use a small bar fridge, that was quite a lot of fun, the old fridge had broke and even when it got repaired twice, it had just died, poor fridge couldn't take the move from Darwin to Townsville very well.
Several times, I have hung out with my friend Sara and her tribe a few times at her house, which has been pretty fun, also meeting her 3 kids, Luke, River-Lee and Syler, although on the 7th April she gave birth to her 4th child another boy called Jessie, I got to have cuddles with him a few days later, he is a very cute wee baby :).
although the day after I ended up coming down with a cold, that hung around for a week, so I was sad I couldn't get to visit again before Sara moved down to Ayr.
the week of having a cold was quite fun, it was during the school holidays, I would have to say at least it is a good thing that there wasn't school children in the family that I would have to look after because having a cold where the weather is also hot, and looking after children is not fun.
So me and Jonathan who I got the cold from hung out together, both feeling miserable but we did many different activities including watching the lovely Wiggles, painting outside, drawing and reading,
Because you know reading is very fun :).
On the 21st March I attended a Australian Defence Force Parade, which was to celebrate the end of operation slipper, which ended in 2014 and had started in 2001, it was a very interesting parade and service as well, it was a hot day too, but the funny thing is that I was the only one not to get sun burnt :).
Can't remember the date that I went to the museum with Nathalie the North Queensland Tropical Museum it was really very quite an interesting museum we also got to see how a cannon on an old ship used to be loaded and fired, afterward we went and had lunch at the longboard restaurant, it is very nice there.
I must say it is so great when you can find a friend from anywhere in the world that has the same interests as you, that is also an Au Pair, and you just get along so well with each other, it's great :) .
church
so there is going to be different dates floating around in this post.
I made another Au Pair friend called Henna from Finland, we meet up on The Strand and chatted and first went and got some ice cream from Juliette's I had a new flavour this time of watermelon which was just tasty as, I really liked that it was quite tasty, then we walked along and up to kissing point fort, which was used up until the end of WWII it was quite interesting to look around and also looked around Jezzine Barracks.
I also meet with another Au Pair and we had coffee in the mall at Willows for a couple of hours her name was Gillian from Scotland.
Easter weekend was quite eventful, on the morning of Easter Sunday Gilligan and I got to have a easter egg hunt around the garden that was pretty awesome, afterwards I went along for a church service, and then afterwards, I helped set up another egg hunt, for more children that were to be coming over the afternoon as well as other people too, so it became quite a busy tiresome day.
I also went to the movies a couple of times first time was with Gilligan and we went to see Fast and Furious 7 this was an amazing movie, every single part of the movie was just great including the ending.
and the second time was with Nathalie and we went and saw Pitch Perfect 2.
