The roof of Tasmania




                 All three days of the hike were perfect weather. New Zealand is next... all for now.

Sorry For The Absence..

A lot has happened since September 26th. I put "Flyer" on a mooring at Lake Macquarie where she will stay until the end of cyclone season (May), when I will resume my voyage. I flew back to the States to visit then returned with my good friend Steve Jackson for "whirlwind" tour of Australia. I returned to the States again for Christmas then flew back to OZ on Jan 22. After picking up my gear it was off to Tasmaina to hike the Overland Track, the islands premier walking track (trail). The weather was magnificant for the 80k (50 mile) trek.
