#10: Jump off a waterfall 
#10: Jump off a bridge


Its like a waterfall. But different.


So myself, Sebastian and Ange (my travel buddies from France and Germany, respectively) are walking along a gorge in Launceston (Tas) and this kid climbs up on the railing on this bridge. At first I thought he was going to kill himself. Then I sort of thought about it, and figured although it was pretty fucking high, it probably wasn't high enough to die from. Probably. So I figured he was just trying to do himself serious injury.


Turns out Sajeed is a 19 year old mad dog from Hobart who just decides to jump off stuff when he's got a few things on his mind. And he's jumped off this particular bridge 'probably 10 times', but other than his friends, no one else in Tassie is dumb enough to do it. But he doesn't know why, coz 'someone told me its pretty deep'. 


He said I should jump too. I said no. He shrugged and jumped. It was a long way down. Then I figured that I didn't come all the way to Tasmania to not jump off a bridge. So I did.

it may not look it, but it was a long way down. a long way.
