We flew into Melbourne and ended up meeting a bloke from Zeehan on the plane that reckoned he might have known me because I lived in Zeehan 25 years ago. I went throgh a few names and finally found one we both knew. He was following us a bit at the airport because he didn't know where the baggage claim was.
While we were waiting for the next flight, we sat next to an old lady. There was a security shiela walking around with a walkie talkie. Next thing the old lady is crying and the security shiela is comforting her. The security shiela then gets up and razzes people on the radio. It turns out that the old lady needs some medication from her laggage which was mislaid. It was quite sad really, the old lady was crying and the security shiela doing her best to be supportive. It was like being in one of those airport TV shows. After about 10 mins some more people with high-vis coats and radios came along with the baggage. Happy ending, the airport staff were excellent.
Prices for the Internet at the hotel were outrageous - fifty five cents per minute!!!!!!! I snooped around for some free wifi but didn't do any good. We're at the airport now, plane delyed, with a five hour wait for the twelve hour flight. Times like this I wish I had of bought the airport lounge pass, a snooze would have been all right. :-)

This is the first chance to communicate - sort of got Tas Internet probs. Hows the network there?
If its any good we could look at the option of relocating somewhere like Argentina or Chile that already have? a national broadband network of substance, so we can get into the on-line world - you know where Kevin and David are.
Happy trecking.
