Back in Sydney

OK, this whole blog thing has not gone as planned.  I apologize to both the 'followers' and those who casually sign on to see what's going on.

The blog has not gone as planned for the following reasons:

1) too busy!  on the go and have not spent much time on the computer at all. For example, I tented for eleven nights in a row in Queensland and much of that time was not conducive to blogging.
2) wireless is expensive, as previously explained, or simply not available.
3) lost my special computer adapter, or it was stolen, somewhere in Queensland. Just got  a new one today, and my other adapter which I can use on my phone, camera or iPod does not fit my computer. 

There remains a lot to be said about Australia and this trip, so here's what I think I will do.  I will go through my seven hundred and someodd photos (!) and choose the best ones (i.e. not all) and add them to my blog with an explanation of what is happening on each stage of my trip, i.e Sydney, Airlie Beach, Brisbane, Fraser Island, Sydney again.  So it will be more of a photo diary than a blog. 

I leave for Vancouver on Thursday.  Tomorrow I am off to the Blue Mountains by train. My time in Australia is coming to an end.   Keep checking this site and I promise you I will post photos ASAP!
