Hi All, Not long to go now, departure wednesday morning. Not much to report really other than the fact that the group are running around trying to get last minute bits and pieces complete. The main reason for this entry being that Steve (cheers mate, just think we saved you a hangover this morning!!) has just finished organising the diary so that we can autoupdate it wherever we may be, so this is just a test. Thanks Steve, we owe you a beer or three. Cheers, Jim.

Hi big red !
Great to hear from you and thanks for the best wishes. Only a couple of days till we leave for Aus so I’ll have to catch up with you when we get back. Glad you like the photo ;-)

Hallooo! This is the fifth message I’ve tried to send - hope it gets there this time! Hope you all have an excellent time - me and Ben will be keeping tabs on you for the next 3 months. Got my flights booked for Madagascar - leave on 10th April, so not too long to go. Ben’s back on location but says he’ll email you as soon as he can find a computer! Anyway, good luck guys and hopefully you wont be needing those first aid skills! Take it easy, love Hannah

Loads of good luck to the lot of you. Try not to get sunburnt, and don’t talk to any strange dingoes. We’ll be thinking of you, especially in mid-February!

Your message about circumnavigating Australia came as a very pleasant surprize! We have added a notice to our News page and will also alert our flyers to your adventure. Thanks for allowing us to use your diary entries.

We wish you excellent weather and all the very best of luck!
