Australia 2002
Top	Log Pictures Adventures Flora Resources Etc

Welcome. Most of this web page is now old and I haven't had the time to really clean it all up!

Best place to look is in the Log above, and go from month to month:

• April 2002 found us in Tasmania and Victoria and New South Wales... and a side trip to New Caledonia to reset the six-month clock on our visas
• May 2002 we headed north through Queensland
• June 2002 was Queensland, including a trip up the Cape York Peninsula
• July 2002 had us heading across Central Australia
• August 2002 was the Northern Territory and into the Kimberley region of Western Australia
• September 2002 was all Western Australia (it's big! it's full of flowers!)
• October 2002 we head through South Australia and Victoria back to Sydney.  We spent a week in New Zealand, again to reset our visa.  I got tired of logging early in the month.  Don't expect much!
• And we left on 7 November 2002

The rest of this stuff is just for clean up later... which at the current rate I'm going will be 2006 sometime...

Chateau de Cardboard Sillyness: I've decided to do a series on great box wines of Australia.  Ostensibly, this is to find out which wine is the best to take on a four week 4WD bush tour.  Yeah, right.

6 Feb

Dan and Chris are right now in Sydney, wishing it wasn't so rainy and wet!  It's rained 83mm (3.25 inches) since 9am yesterday morning, and 213mm (8.3 inches) since Monday at 3am.  Where's summer?  Waaa!  And right now, at 4:45pm on Wednesday 6 Feb, it's *still* raining.  We haven't even really seen our shadows!

That's it for now.
