Bummer. I have also been suffering from internet withdrawals due to very limited access - probably a good ting in truth.

All that aside it is an amazingly beautiful place; will post a few pics (form my crappy little camera) when I get home in a while.

Hope everyone there is happy and well and enjoying crisp clear Aussie winter nights, fending off dew and clouds and enjoying a few warming beverages.

Cheers, Kerrie
I am glad you are enjoying yourself but what on earth made an astronomer go to a place when the sun doesn't set me thinks you might need your head examined
