We arrived back in Adelaide via the Great Ocean Road in southern Victoria late last night.
We had started out from Torquay, where we had stayed over night, travelled all day and got progressively sickier from junk motorway food. Upon arrival in the high-tech townhouse the hot water system was no longer working. We stepped around all the boxes waiting to be unpacked from the move, fed the dogs and fell into bed to the sounds of the city. It was work for me tomorrow though not Suzanne.
I had been planning to write about the trip to Mallacoota on this weblog, but I had trouble finding internet access and, then when I did find it I had trouble accessing this weblog whilst in Mallacoota. I had even taken extensive notes during the first couple of days across the Wimmera country and then along the Great Alpine Road.
In the end I gave it up trying to stay connected to the virtual world. I was on holiday in the magnificent Croajingolong National Park. Nothing else mattered. I was surrounded by, and living within wilderness. It was a place that embodied, and preserved, the value of wilderness
But its back on deck from this morning.

Posted by: Gianna on May 7, 2003 11:36 AMGary, you have something wrong with the settings for Junk For Code. When I click on the links to your posts from my RSS feed program, this is the URL it sends me to:
http://www.sauer-thompson/junkforcode/archives/000275.html
As you can see, there's a .com missing in there. Also, when I click on the link at the top of the page for the previous entry, it doesn't work either (.com missing again). Just thought you should know.
Posted by: James Russell on May 7, 2003 12:56 PMHi Gianna,
nope. But Suzanne's sister and husband had a digital camera and an Apple power book. The photos were immediately downloaded, photo-shopped then organized into various sequences within a few hours of the walk.
I was sooooooooooooo envious.
I only had a Pentax, Leica and a Linhof Technika 70 ---very old technology. The films need processing, printing then scanning. Old techology that is much, much slower. Too slow. Digital camera, powerbook and wireless technology is the answer. But its money.
