I'm off to NZ for two weeks holiday next week, exploring the South Island, starting on Monday from Christchurch my old home town. I've had a brief look at the internet access in this neck of the woods, and it looks as if I will have to rely on internet cafes.
So posting may be hit and miss. I may be constrained to down load more found images:
Stickney crater, Phobos, Astronomy Picture of the Day
Phobos is one of the Martian moons and it appears from the photos taken by HiRISE camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, that the crater was created by an enormous impact. Phobos may well be an asteroid captured by the gravitational pull of Mars.
It's fly (from Melbourne) and drive in a high top with lots of wandering, starting from Banks Peninsula east of Christchurch then onto Canterbury region and the river country.

I am off to Mexico for a short vacation. It has been a long time since I have swum in the pacific.
