Tomorrow Rob and I set out for Orange on the first day of our epic Outback adventure. Following in the footsteps of the mighty Leyland Brothers, Mike will be our noble leader as we venture west beyond Dubbo, Nyngan and Bourke with his own daughter playing Mal Leyland on cameras. Rob and I have stripped the Rav down to its front seats so we can fit our luggage as well as Bev's excess! See attached fotos(I am putting in a few deliberate mistakes to encourage readers to leave comments). I have packed my recovery gear so that in the event of vehicle trouble we can be rescued! Tess still wants to stay home. Don't know why.
I will try to incorporate as much technical information like GPS waypoints and Google Earth files for those interested. I wish I had arranged for mobile internet before I left but Mike doubts the coverage would be great. So be prepared for a delay in updating although I remain optimistic that our Homestead stay on the Darling Run will have ADSL2!
Elsewhere in my Blog, I have been playing with photos from our 2001 Top End Tour - see earlier posts - and have worked out how to use Picassa's web galleries. I have put the Queensland shots up first and will do the others later. I am impressed with this free hosting service - makes my Dot Mac subscription look a little expensive but it is not quite as easy. Ironic that I, a Mac Man of long standing, should be playing with PC software just as my sister Rose has finally seen the Macbook Pro light. We don't mention her first macs anymore, or her work with now defunct mac companies. I await rapturous reviews of the hardware from her soon. Leave a comment Rose.
So off tomorrow afternoon. Weather here is grey and drizzling.Forecast is not clear.
