Thanks
Thanks to everyone who sent their well wishes. We had a great time and I feel much better than when I left. We visited 8 new places, ranging from overnight stays to 6 night stays and only one was unsatisfactory. That was on overnight van in a place I won't mention publicly. We nearly packed up and left at 10pm. On the other hand we spent 6 nights beside the Mitta Mitta River mostly by ourselves at a spot with ample shade and a huge swimming hole. We experienced the changing seasons at Falls Creek in 2 days; windy - fine - hail - fine with beautiful viewing - pea-soup fog. Along the way I was reminded what a 1981 Landcruiser can do; I wasn't going to attempt that climb but then a Hilux managed it and so it became a matter of pride. The views from the top of Blue Rag range were worth the palpatations. The final night was at the hopefully-named 'Mt Clear', where the skies were nice but not quite as good as Falls Creek. It rained at 3am.
Ric, I took plenty of music but didn't listen to much, just a couple of albums one night to mask a neighbour's 'music'. Mostly we listened to The Birds greatest hits backed by a burbling brook and wind in the trees.
Alex, I took about 300 shots. I always take a few shots of each campsite to remind me where we've been. I also tried some 'Venus at sunset' shots but I don't think they worked.
Jen, if I can't manage 'quick-witted replies' will 'half-witted' do?
