We have started the 2nd leg of our trip meaning we have seen all our long lost friends and now we are going on 2 adventure tours. We will miss all the people we were able to see and had a great time catching up and visiting, reliving travel memories as only they would understand. Kudos to all our hosts, you showed us a part of Australia we could never see without you! We are constantly overwhelmed with their generosity and hospitality of all our friends these are the things that make traveling precious. We are richer with every new experience. We have seen different stars here. The Southern Cross is only visible in the southern hemisphere and we have had a few good looks. The 1st and most memorable was on the Central Coast.

We set off early this monring to begin the long drive over to the east coast.

Not much to do outside unless you like getting insulted by drunk aborigines at every hour of the day so we settled in to watch the Hollywood Oscar ceremony, which was just as poo! Still, east coast adventure begins soon. Mike... read more

Not much to report today other than have been in internet cafe working all day (boo!). Still on a lighter note I will be getting a vat refund soon, so I will treat myself to a beer or two tonight when me and Oli take on the Alice Springs Lawn Bowling elders in this evenings Friday Night jackpot. And yes, that's right, lawn bowls. THis will be our third outing to play lawn bowls. I couldnt think of a better sport...competition, allowed to drink beer while you play, slight exercise, use of skill and judgment, and getting out in the fresh alice air in the evening heat (30ish still). Perfect. Hope you like the piccie of us at lawn bowls.... :) Mike... read more
