Apologies for the mundane nature of this blog entry… this is me using my blog in it’s true, personal sense 
I booked my flight out to Melbourne last week! Throw away the December date, I go on 29th September now! I’m trying to organise some work arrangements for when I finish my initial bit of travelling, but if anyone has any leads (programming work around Melbourne) gimme a heads-up 
The first route I posted last time around is changing a bit. There’s too many stops on it, and I may also be leaving out Uluru until I “do” Western Australia. Doing a bit of financial research into the cost of getting from A to B then I’ll post a more accurate route, with some more descriptive notes about what I’ll be getting up to!
Speaking of finance… I started a Virtual Pot to collect donations from my Swift Mailer project and use as spending money in Oz.
I also bought a new digital camera (cheap and cheerful but deliberately bought since my brother got an older model a couple of years ago and it’s really a nice camera).
I’ll post again in a week or two with a better route
I’m sure even in the direction I’m heading I’ll miss out on loads of things people will tell me about later but the size of the continent is beyond comprehension.
