Cockatoos...
love that photo especially. I may want a copy of it to enlarge when you get back :) Sounds like a brilliant day, all told. My question is....did you actually eat that breakfast before you went out climbing? (including the pile 'o bacon and what looks like - beans??) I'd need a nap if I did. I'll assume you needed something else afterwards, heh heh. We're still stuck in an incredibly uncomfortable holding pattern of humidity here. Still no real relief in sight! With my disdain for cold weather, I can't complain about the heat, but man, it's hard to be productive when it's so damn hot. Looking forward to the next leg of your journey as you venture north. Enjoy seeing INXS (-1) !

The Great Barrier Reef
Mike, So glad you're getting to the reef, you MUST go! and make sure you save $ for an underwater camera. Linda (Sarah enjoying the summer, meeting some new friends from Friends, and reading Maximum Ride.) We will await your underwater pics from the reef!

way cool....
way cool.... i know you're not taking requests bui must say that listening to you whinge about Englands deserved dismissal is a bit pathetic...come on now!! loads of craziness here. painting a giant mural on the wall of cvs in medford sq. with the camp kids. it was 101 yesterday and i had them all out there...ugh the true craziness can only me told in private so you'll have to wait for that one. lets just say there aren't enough days in a week!!

Great to get your updates. Sorry to hear about your dreary weather those days but still sounds and looks quite amazing. Just think you were able to spend some time with Antony and he with you while traveling . It is also nice to hear that he is helping out with the bills since it is so expensive there as you say. Hey, that's what family is for, they help each other other when needed if possible. Of course the nice weather returns always when you get back from your destination. Hope you get to the Barrier Reef. Have fun and stay safe. Lucille

Help!!
Well what a night. Thanks goodness for the maid, but do we really need to hear all the details of your stomach plight. Enjoy and stay safe

of all the muppets...
..mutant ones are the best! Look forward to more tales of the Ozzie flora, fauna and such....

thanks...
...for the imagery! Hey, you were seeking adventure... perhaps the name of the island has something to do with its "aura" shall we say....
