Briefly Keeping You in the Loop

     Briefly, since my last update, this is what I've done:
      Spent some time in the north bit of the south island of NZ, then finished my time off in the Capitol City of Wellington, on the north island, enjoying the hospitality of some new friends I'd met along the way.
      And finally it was time to head back to Oz. Using the friends of friends contacts that keep the world turning, I managed to rent myself a full apartment for a week for less than the price of a bed in a hostel. I had a bedroom with a full-size bed, a bathroom, a kitchen to myself, and a TV! I almost didn't leave. But at the end of the week, I followed through on another friendly offer to spend a week on a charter boat in the Whitsunday Islands. And that too will be expanded upon at this site in the near future.
      Arriving back in Melbourne after that fun-filled week, I almost immediately flew down to Tazmania for a week. And I'm just in the process of detailing that one for you now. Then it was back to Melbourne for two days before leaving for good on a tour of the Great Ocean Road and the Grampian Mountain Range.
      And now here I find myself in Adelaide trying to decide the best way to see everything else that I want to see in the time I have to see it in. Adelaide, Darwin, Alice Springs, Perth, Broome, and the West coast. Not necessarily in that order. But I think big things are in order. Big things, and good times.
Consider yourself up to date.
