Eden is really quiet. Really, really, really quiet.

Steph yawns, rolls over and sits up, sighing, ready but not particularly eager to face another day of placating Tim and pretending she's not going out of her mind with boredom -- and blinks away the afterimages of the flash and the noise to find herself sitting on dirt, red dirt, on a rocky

Shay came to Australia to search for kangaroos. There weren't any in Manchester, where he last saw them, so, he decided to check out Australia instead.

He hasn't realised, yet, that the beach is probably not swarming with prancing herds of kangaroos. But hey! A person!

"The beach? Yeah, isn't it!" Steph grins at the newcomer happily, picking her way over towards him through long, dry grass, stepping carefully over anything that looks like it might be prickly.

The red rocks that line the cliffs give way to sand dunes and grasses a little back from the edge, and interrupting those is a long, winding asphalt road, wide enough for four lanes, vanishing into the distance in both directions. It's overgrown, disastrously, and in places the surface is cracked; a couple of hundred metres back from where Steph landed the cliff has caved in and the road is broken altogether.

There are, in fact, three kangaroos, regarding the two humanoids from several hundred metres away, on top of a low grassy rise. Steph has yet to see them, or her next words might be different.

"This might be a totally weird question, coming from a girl in pyjamas, but uh ... where the hell am I?"

Wherever the hell it is, she's still supremely happy to be here, still beaming at the world.

"There are tropical moose?" Steph looks positively delighted by this.

Hey, after Eden, she'll believe anything.

"Can we ride them?"
