Thanks all for the input. Only some of my family can access the site,
it seems to vary with the ISP--those on Westnet appear to be in the
majority of those who cant access it. I will post the solution when
found.
On the matter of the Nullabor typo, I believe it is an aboriginal name
and I don't think they were big on Latin.
Regards,
Adrian

Hi All
Have a look at http://www.southaustralia.com/EyrePeninsulaNullarbor.aspx
From one who was educated by the Jesuits, put the Latin 'nullus' and
arbor' together for 'no' 'tree'.
Latin is a bit of a sore point with me! At Grammar school, I was
selected
into the "bright" stream and had to sit through the Latin classes
whilst my
"dull" mates were building a Mirror sailing dinghy in the carpentry
class!
I have to say, I hardly felt privileged by the selection!
Perhaps we now have 'Nullus Arbor', or 'Null' Arbor', or 'Nullarbor';
and then the language could degenerate further to 'N'arbor' or
even ... NAB?
Yes, well, as a NAB shareholder, I must concede that the amount of
trees
that must go into their annual reports and other paperwork generated
could
well qualify them for the alternative expansion of NAB!
Sorry for hijacking your thread Adrian!
Have fun,
Neil

Hehe,
Well it's changed from Nullabore to Nullabor - so now it's
consistent across
your site.
However, as John said, I always thought the strictly correct
spelling was
Nullarbor (as in - no trees).
However, Nullabor does also seem to be in common usage.
Google gives:
247,000 hits for Nullarbor
92,300 hits for Nullabor
Take your pick :)
Cheers
Neil

Thanks to all for the responses, unfortunately I am unable to
access
it on any of the 4 machines available to me where I am at
present. I
have corrected the Nullabor spelling via iWeb and it appears to
have
uploaded the correction OK. If anyone who has been able to get in
could have another look and confirm that the correction has
uploaded I
will appreciate it, it will also serve to confuse me even more.
