- Home Again . . . briefly . . .

Safety Harbor, FL USA

After about 43 hours of traveling (with pretty good connections), I made it from Brisbane, Australia back home to Safety Harbor, FL USA. The travel time was so long because I got my tickets using frequent flyer miles my brother gave me for my birthday. The only itinerary available was Australia to the USA by going west, not the usual east. I flew from Brisbane to Singapore to Manchester to Philadelphia to Tampa.

I expect to be here in the USA for about 3 weeks. Then I'll need to get back to mining in Australia until sometime in October.

While here in the USA I expect to be selling some opal, both cut & rough and will be updating this blog - hopefully adding photos and maybe videos.

If there are any topics you'd like me to cover here, please feel free to let me know.


P.S. If anybody knows what type of spider is in the photo to the right, please let me know the details (the spider is the critter with 8 hairy legs in the photo to the right. I am the critter with the 2 hairy legs in the photo above and to the left holding the piece of rough)
