Brisbane, Queensland - Australia
This morning I landed in Brisbane - the stale old joke says, boy are my arms tired . . . however, in reality, boy is my butt tired from sitting so long way back in row 73.
Tonight I'll be staying in a hotel in Brisbane. Tomorrow I'll be flying to Cunnamulla, then driving to Koroit. After tonight, I'll be spending the next 6 weeks sleeping on a cot in my garden shed home away from home. I'm eager to get back out there.
Brisbane is a cute city. Tonight is Saturday night - this is the last night I'll be spending in "civilization", however I'm a bit tired from my trip and have a 7am flight tomorrow morning, so I think I'm just going to go to bed early and enjoy my last night with sheets until mid-November.
I'm going to try to offer parcels of rough for sale while I'm here. Feel free to email me for details.
. . . more once I get out there.
Best wishes and a speedy recovery to Miss Sugar Ray and her troubled ankle . . .

- Back to Oz
Safety Harbor, FL - USA
Hello again . . . on Thursday (9/25) I will be on my way back to Australia and will be in Koroit on Sunday. I'll be returning to the USA by November 14.
I spoke with Paul a few hours ago. There has been more rain in Koroit and it is hot. That means there are swarms of mozzies (Australian for "mosquitoes") and flies all over. . . not to mention the various species of reptiles which have been brought out of their winter slumber and are now out and about. Yes, Paul has seen many lizards, but there probably are also a few serpents slinking around the neighborhood. I hope to return with many new interesting photos and videos and no bite marks, well . . .
On Saturday (Australia time) I will be in Brisbane and will try to update this blog before I go out for the evening . . . an evening in a beautiful city of over a million people which will be followed by nearly 50 evenings spent on a cot in a steel shed on an opal field in a desert where there are maybe still 12 people within the nearest 10 miles . . . aaaahh both places are beautiful in their own ways, but in my humble opinion, Koroit is much closer to . . . it.
