What with buying a new house and moving in the spring, and getting married
a couple of months ago, I've not really had time for touring this year
either! The one exception was I had a conference in Cairns, Australia in
July, and wasn't going to fly all that way for four days of talks and then
come straight back. So I met up with my brother afterwards (he lives in NZ
now), and we did a week and a half tour up into the Queensland outback
which was pretty cool. Fairly light as well-hammocks not tents, cooking on
fires, etc. Colin has a few pictures here:
