G'day all My wife and I are off to the north-west of Australia and The Top End from Saturday. As is usual for major trips, I'll be blogging as we go - although internet access will be unavailable in some areas so updates wont be daily. If anyone is interested in following along with the trip, here's the blog link:
https://apathyman2015.wordpress.com/ As we'll be heading north by way of the north-west, I just had to name the blog after one of my favourite movies... Unusually for us, we're doing an organised tour. We'd prefer to drive ourselves but the distance and road conditions in the area are beyond the capabilities of our ageing station wagon. The worst thing about preparing for a trip like this isn't so much the packing, it's getting the house and property set up for our absence. Fortunately, this time my son and his partner will be house sitting for much of the time. Packing for this trip has been more challenging than usual because of the weight restrictions on the tour. I've had to abandon the idea of taking the laptop, so blogging and photo backups will have to be handled by the Samsung tablet - a new experience for me. There's also no room for a tripod and even getting the K5 in has been a difficult squeeze. Anyway, the upshot of all this is that the August PUG will be a tad late - so you have a little longer to contemplate the theme - 'Simplicity'.
