Bit of a gap!

We had all the best intentions to make regular postings but hey - who feels like playing with technology when in some gorgeous spot toasting a sunset; besides, camping is hard work so there is very little time! Not to mention Internet coverage (via our much loved datapack courtesy of Telstra) - this has not been available since Hawker right through the Flinders Ranges until now in Leigh Creek.
Flinders Ranges are a geologist's heaven and despite being extraordinarily dry have been wonderful. We expect to be in Alice Springs in a week via the Oodnadatta Track and will hopefully catch up on lots of postings there - about Mungo and Kinchega national parks and Broken Hill in arid NSW before crossing into South Australia. Met some really nice people, some of them having gearbox trouble and watching their car being shipped off to Adelaide 600 kms away on the tray top! Remember our journey to Canberra David E? This blogging is proving murderous and on top of that I can't get my credit cards to work and we're running out of cash. The butcher's got $100 of criovacced meat for collection too! The locals think we are of dubious repute - well, we are from Victoria aren't we!
