    That MP3 !
    It just have to be
    "Last chance to see" by Douglas Adams ?
    Or ?
    I havn't checked!

    Funny, i didn't realized how much i miss the aussie accent
    I spent a year down there, working in Sydney, years ago.
    And for a very long time i kept wondering what
    "good onions" was about!

    It's GOOD ON YOU, but with there accent, huuuh!

    Just go down there and say tomato!
    There middle age woman will laugh there asses of !
    I guess i had a pommie or American way of saying tomato.
    Or was funny looking or something

    I also spent about 48 hours on a greyhound bus from Sydney --> Cairns.
    Next to a gentleman, who talked the hole time.
    I couldn't grasp a hole sentence on the hole trip !!!
    Very unpleasant!

    Just , yeah and oh nooo ,the hole time, i had about 50% hit rate :


    Back to the topic, nice video review!

    Ps:
    But, but i put that UQ on, up here in Sweden when it get below 0.
    Hmm, he did the Yeti in different versions didn't he?
    Moski, who no longer feels the Secret Ninja Ski emptiness..............

    Nice one Gunn! It certainly is cooling down at present. We had snow in Katoomba and Lithgow and Orange this week. If I was a brass monkey, I'd be worried!

    Looks like a top camping spot

    I too very much enjoyed the pics, even went to the org site for the trail and read up on it. 'End to enders', what we call 'thru-hikers'...so is long distance backpacking popular in Oz? Thanks for calming my fears on the snakes. I've been walking on the AT for 35 years and have never seen a poisonous snake on that trail either....I'm sure many have seen me though.

    I've bumped into a few tiger and king brown snakes...and plenty of red belly black snakes. I've never been bitten. I have had team members bit though. That's where the good ol' Personal Locating Beacon becomes handy.

    Honestly, I wouldn't worry about the snakes, spiders, bull ants, floods, or the tropical storms because if you got a hammock you're right. Nothing to worry about. It's at night time that causes the problems and by then you're hanging in the trees

    The two things I do worry about out bush are the leeches and the stinging nettle. Grrrrr...always on the lookout.
