... petting it like a rabbit! They do try and bite and I don't think it does much damage as the littlest girl was "bitten" by the gummy mouth of a skink and then cried when her mom told her to stop playing with it - "It was the other one that bit me!"
I think they are definitely one of my favourite animals here - along with the good ol' wombat.

... started off quite ordinary, took a turn for the worse (for me) and ended up showing how far people in this group are prepared to go to make sure we all finish this epic journey. I feel privileged to be part of this group.

I will try to keep you all up to date as much as possible.

By for now.

I'll talk to you all next week.

... langsam dem Ende zu. Leb wohl, toller Fels, abendliche Explosionen und Gesang von benachbarten Lagerfeuern, Maeusefang-Rekorde (unsere tasmanischen Nachbarn halten den Rekord: 10 in 24 Stunden in einer Falle), Duschen im Schwimmbad und freundliches Personal der Bibliothek in Horsham (Tee und Kaffee fuer die stinkenden Horden von Kletterern an Regentagen - das ist schon der Hammer!) - schoen wars!

... months or years living h**e. Last week we shared our campfire with two long-and-grey-bearded rockclimbing pione**s, who still climbed quite hard and had many stories to tell of first ascents at Arapiles and the Grampians. Respect!

They also introduced us to the arts of Jaffle-making, which seems to be an Arapiles tradition. A Jaffle-Iron is an ironcast sandwichmak** for the campfire. If you are good at it you can make an egg on the ...

... well below my projected budget on these things at the moment (petrol is a whole other story, well over my expected costs, but I digress...) and I am in the habit of saving money for the sake of saving it, without ever thinking about what I am saving it for. So this conversation with my friend made me think about that... and in addition to this, he recently showed me a music video by Sarah McLaughlin, for her song 'World on Fire'. If you really want ...

... we stayed on in Adelaide! Also accompanying the boys was Thomas, a german guy that Aaron had met while in Canada. The stay in The Pines was short and sweet, early night the first day, then much drunkenness the second. The boys headed away during the day to do their thing, and we faffed on site, getting used to van life again! The third day the clouds came out, rain started, and we all made an executive decision to leave before the weather got really ****!

... here in a couple of weeks for a better look with the family- we will be back here for the new year celebrations! we quite liked Adelaide! Passing hahndorf and murray bridge (both places look very nice ) we enjoy the drive through some lovely countryside.we stop for a picnic lunch at keith (Funny name for a village) which turns out to be a cute little place too. Across at the next picnic table a family is exchanging Christmas ...

Huoh mika ajo. Emme olleet aivan perilla Kengurusaaren lautan aikatauluista ja matkoista kaupunkien valilla. Alun perin ajattelimme, etta voimme vain menna auton kanssa satamaan suurin piirtein silloin kuin huvittaa, ja pim - olemme saman tien toisella puolella. Lautta ei kulkenutkaan ihan niin usein kuin ajattelimme ja lisaksi matka kesti yli kaksi tuntia. Matka mantereella ei myoskaan ollut niin lyhyt kuin se nopealla vilkauksella karttaan pain ...

... realised I was still very ****. I got chatting to a local guy and when he realised I was British his words were - 'so what was with the British and the Fina swimming event then?'. I didn't understand. He said 'Not winning any medals'. I'm so sick of Aussies telling me how **** we are at sport, even if there is a hint of truth in it. My words were 'actually David Davies from Great Britain had the fastest qualifying time for the 1500m and went on ...
