Not much to say on the news front. Except that we are going to be very very busy for the next nine months.

Travelling to Whyalla today.

Port Lincoln

“It’s just like Hawaii” said Christa as we got off the plane and were walking along the tarmac.

Then we get to the hotel — the Hilton! (But it is in Port Lincoln, so it is not twenty stories high or anything) which is right on the beach and the first thing Christa does is jump in the ocean with all the big jelly fish.

Well some of us are anyhow.)

Welcome to Alice Springs.

I am not too good at getting up in the wee hours of the morning, however, I made a special effort this time so I would not miss the plane again. 6:20am. Fwoar. As it turned out, the plane was due to take off at 8:45 and not 8:30 like I thought. And then it was delayed by about forty-five minutes. So I had plenty of time to not miss this plane.

I felt like such a goose when I missed the plane from Melbourne to Perth on our way to Newman, WA.
