We left Jindabyne at about 8 in the morning. It was a beautiful day! Partly cloudy, and a nice temperature (probably upper 50s when we left). The scenery here also is without words. Passing by Lake Jindabyne was breathtaking. And unfortunately wasn't able to take many pictures (none while moving) do to some camera case issues that I can hopefully resolve soon... Again, pictures pending a good net connection! The first leg of the day was Jindabyne to Cooma, which went pretty quickly. The original plan was to bypass Canberra and take some side roads to the east of Cooma, but this included more dirt. As such, we decided to avoid it. I didn't want a repeat of the other day! We had a brief pit stop in Queanbeyan outside of Canberra, then headed northeast toward ... read more

Hey All! Writing tonight from the house of a kind Aussie, Brian Lacey, who I'm going to be doing the first few days of the trip with, eventually parting ways in Hervey Bay. A hot meal and a real bed sure do feel nice! I'll try to upload a video of my second day in Phillip Island. I wasn't able to get anything of the Penguin Parade, but that was super funny. The route up to Hervey Bay consists of: Melbourne to Jindabyne Jindabyne to Bathurst Bathurst to Glen Innes Glenn Innes to Hervey Bay So, tomorrow is the first of this, Melbourne to Jindabayne. Were taking a highway to Bairnsdale, then peeling off and taking the Bruthen-Buchan Road up to the Barry Way. These roads cut through the Snowy Mountains in Victoria's Alpine country. It's ... read more

First blog entry! Internet is limited here on Fiji, but wanted to just put something out. Went out on a 2 dive trip to South Sea Island. Really nice! Diving in 82 degree water sure is the best... First time in warm water diving. No wet suit needed! Great experience. Jim and I were going to do another 2 dives this morning, but when we got to the place in Moni, the boat wouldn't start. Boo! So unfortunately no more diving for me in Fiji, as my flight to Melbourne leaves tomorrow at 5:30pm. So today is probably gonna be hitting some inland stuff. A hike would be nice... Well, off to some adventures!... read more
