The team have now reached Adelaide having made the following stops since Esperance: Balladonia, Cocklebiddy, Eucla, Streaky Bay, Cowell, Lower Light(Adelaide) We lost one day due to rain and low cloud. The joke of the moment has to be that we anticipated very hot weather and tail winds across the Nullaboor. The reality being that we experienced, rain, poor visibility and headwinds at low level. We have however discovered that cloudbase permitting we can often pick up tail/neutral wind at a higher level. We have now completed approximately 1600 miles in 30hrs flying. Keith has now driven 2500miles but then he didn’t have to make the 32 mile water crossing west of Adelaide. Having now spent two days relaxing at Lower Light we are tomorrow intending to head towards Melbourne. It’s Keith’s birthday Thursday and we hope to be in Melbourne to celebrate. More soon folks, John, Keith and Jim.

PS Is it true the only way to keep your beer cold is to dangle it out the back? If so look out for those wallabies - I here the’re quite good at jumping!

Hi Keith, Jim and John (or is that Bruce, Bruce and Bruce?),
Hope all is well down under - sounds as though you’ve done really well so far. Happy b’day for Thursday Keith, I kinda guess you three guys won’t be out for a romantic meal together that night. All is well in the office, miss your expertise and cynicism though (Keith and Jim).
Keep up the good work, shame about the rugby, better luck next year.
Cheers mate
