Thanks "Freewebs". I have enjoyed doing my blog and feedback from supporters has been great. I wasn't too sure when I started but despite several hiccups it seems to have worked very well. The Blog gave me something to focus on at the end of each day or adventure. It provided family with a means of easy communication and reassurance(!?) without pestering and above all, it remains a pretty comprehensive diary. I hadn't realised how much I had written until I started re...

Arrived back home late last night. Now the sorting out starts. I reckon that there are nearly 2000 photos to edit and hope to create a few extra pages in Photos of more specific events and places.

I also need to thank so many people that I have met and/or had help and support from over the last 8 weeks. They really made the trip so memorable. Many have already been mentioned at times but perhaps too casually and a special Thanks needs to be created.

Otherwise, back to da...

Hi�
Have been trying to upload piccies but finally given up. Andy is one of only two friends who have Apple Macs as their home PC. Tim swears by his whilst I swear at Andys. I'm sure that there is an easy way of sorting the photos and getting them uploaded to the website but I have failed. Need to wait for Andy to get home but by then we shall be dashing off to the beach and late sunset supper.�
I guarantee that they are well worth waiting for but it just might be some time before ...

Hi Everyone!
Back in Perth after a long weekend away with the Cranes and Ringo n Mave, at Jane and Andys "Beach House" at Mandarah.�

It has a huge inland salt water lake joined to the Indian Ocean by two large inlets and offers vast areas set aside for activities such as sailing, water skiing, fishing or crabbing. At the beach, good surf most days and a reef protected beach are perfect for both surfe...
