(Preview)
After working for 3 months in Cobram, Victoria, the work ran out and it got cold so I've run up the middle to Darwin. A great trip that has taken me a month. The heat and humidity here is staggering but at least there are not the flies of Coober Pedy. The West Macs were awesome (I'm saving Uluru for a friend)....
