I prefer my Annapurna 4 season with a groovy tie down system .. will be trying it out just down the road at your local camp grownd.. look for the bright orange cocoon with a bunch of paintings piled up nearby.. a small one burner camp stove ( for the fair trade French roast ground for drip from Midnight Sun Coffee Roasters in Whitehorse) with the java just made... and skim milk whipped up with a fork, hot and yummy.. bring your own mug dearie... palimpsest.. having been before... . so.. I came into the librarium yest. and
a pal was gaining ground on New Zealand... they want folks to come there it
looks like as even old ladies like her ( and I) can get work permits which
can be renewed indef.. .. groovy art scene in Christchurch and great book
stores too. a bit like jolly old. with the swans etc... actually.. I met a guy in the zerox store.. he was in Whitehorse to pick up a gal he met on the internet... they were actually going to get hitched!.. he was a sunburnt 60ish retired miner (I can imagine the conversations) and lived in BROKEN HILL.. one the most desolate, backward hick places in OZ... sigh... I do love the birds and jungles up in Queensland.. my little kid and I would go on night walks to listen to the jungle Vile Jelly 18 December 2003 09:16
A bright orange raccoon? Doesn't that make it rather easy for the gristly
bears to spot you or don't they eat raccoons? Anyway, cheers for the offer but
you can keep the coffee. Can't stand the vile substance. Besides everybody
should drink tea to support the Brit Empire, if not the whole thing could
collapse!
Talking of which. Does the imminent advent of republicanism in Horsetralia
mean that some of its locales will have to be renamed? Presumably Sydney will
become Bruce, Victoria will become Kylie and Queensland will be renamed after
Oz's greatest king and changed to Donbradmanland!
PS. I thought all of 'Strylier' conformed to your description of Broken Hills.
Maeve Russet Hawthorne 17 December 2003 21:28 that's weird.. just got mail form a Spanish Basque cyclist...age 70... we met at the hostel in Dawson when I first came into town..he was planning a trip to Tierra Del Fuego... anyhoo he had his stuff ripped off in BC and was very sad... now going to OZ and cycling from Melbourne to Darwin!... AND, I had recently stolen a Nat. Geo from an office to get the article about a guy cycling around OZ..... hey man... what? is that William Blake's Keeper of Days measuring time out for us.. destiny..fortuna or...fate or goddesses wills.. what do you think... is there a collective unconscious which springs up and we listeners hear the siren songs...is it magic, synchronicity or ...

..... an album by The Police!
You see I'm not a complete imbecile, you know. I know what synchronicity is
(although how it ended up in a swimming pool as an olympic event baffles me)!
Is it very comfortable cycling in a basque (particularly if your a bloke)? I
would have thought that some of those spray-on lycra cycle shorts would have
been more appropriate.
