Pitch Black!!! Thanks for the clarification guys! Man, I wish I had realized that at the time. I would have taken more of an interest. I loved Pitch Black. I had no idea it was filmed in Coober Pedy. Damn....
Missing Alvei I met Alvei in V.N.Gaia, when still being repaired, as a portuguese local who fell in love with both the project and the people in it.
I met Alvei with no sales and waved her fairwell when she sailed the Foz of the Douro river, on her way to Madeira. Some of the nicest people I ever met were in it. For any of them who may read this, I miss Alvei and miss you all! Evan, I don't mail much but keep an eye on how it's going :-) To all you "new" that met Alvei after and get to share this photos and news with us "old" that were left behind, thank you for doing so! I still hope and believe I'll see Alvei back at V.N.Gaia quay someday, even if just for a visit! :-)
Merry Christmas to all of you!

Kangaroos I thought exactly the same as you. Was in Oz in '97/'98 and only saw 1 live kangaroo and that was in a zoo. The rest were all 'roadkills'. But have just been back for another visit and had to drive to the Flinders from dusk until dark. OH MY GOD - how many kangaroos? They were bl**dy everywhere and all of them on a suicide mission. At first I was in awe but after an hour of very stressful driving I wanted them all to go back into hiding. So if you want to see Kangaroos then go to the Flinders and do the dusk drive!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rock Monolith Hey Rach!!
That IS a spectacular band name!! If your band was named that, you'd have to mix all your sessions down to monaural, though. As opposed to ROCK STEREOLITH.

What'd I tell you -- Melbourne is the roxor. :) One my best Aussie friends is actually from Echuca originally... I'm kind of curious as to why you would go there, but okay... ;) Anyway. Spend more time in Melbourne! More time in Melbourne! :)
Fleeing the Canadian winter!!!!!!!!
A year travelling in New Zealand/Australia... and insufficient contact with friends and family back home. I'm making up for that (hopefully) with this travel diary which I am composing more or less all at once. Yikes! What a task. Anyway, I started with a couple entries for the beginning of my trip (some are composed of bits of emails I've written) and some for my most recent adventures. As I have time, I will fill in the middle! If you don't feel like reading all my crap, at least click on the entries and check out the pics! Love you all,
Rachel... full info
