Geeks Disconnected

Rightey-o: for those amongst you wondering why there has been a prolonged silence from the blog-end of things, this is not due to Glen and I getting kicked to death by a kangaroo. We are currently in Halls Gap, a little touristy town in the Grampians National Park (for the Albertans: think Jasper, now make the townsite smaller and you've got Hall's Gap) and the internet resources here aren't exactly contributing to our blog activities.

I've got posts written about Melbourne, and I've got the pictures to back them up, but they are all on Stowaway the Laptop, and the computers at this hostel - which is absolutly paradisial in every other way - don't like speaking to their own USB ports. Add to that a lack of word processors or picture downloading equipment on the hostel computers, and presto: we are unable to post our travel journal writings.

We'll be here for a few more days (probably another four evenings). After that we should have much better internet access, so you can expect a veritable deluge of posts, possibly even several in the same day. If you are mildly frightened by the prospect of slogging through that many posts in one go, you should be. I've managed to turn a lack of internet access into a five hundred word philibuster - just imagine what I've done to our going-to-the-market story!
