Well, the time has come (the Walrus said) - my wife and I are heading off tomorrow on a caravan trip around Australia, which is expected to take us two years. It's something we have been talking about for a few years now, but other factors prevented it. Now the stars have aligned, so we're outa here!
Those of you on Facebook and/or Instagram may like to follow our progress - follow Big Lap Togs to look at our images (the whole point of the trip). I've been assured by she-who-must-be-obeyed that train rides are more-or-less compulsory!
My ancient laptop won't run AR6, so I'm making do with AR5 until I can upgrade (hopefully around Christmas time), not that I expect to have much time to spare!

Well, that's great! I only had two weeks this year to travel around in Australia, so I only did 0.001%.
But I travelled in my personal train.
... we were the only passengers between Perth and Toodyay, so they let me in the cockpit :)
I knew it was too good to last (my luck, that is)!
My trusty XP laptop has finally shuffled off (can't even boot up without bluescreenofdeath), so for the time being I have to share my wife's laptop, which hasn't got AR installed (why are you not surprised?).
Of course, I no longer have access to my licence key, so, David, could you please send it to my forum email address? I don't actually expect to have a lot of time for AR, what with processing an average of 120 images per day, and writing a diary, AND actually going out and doing things, but it will be good to do a bit now and again!
Cheers,

Currently in Kingston On Murray (look it up)
You should have it now. Are you in the caravan park there?
Yes, and yes! Thank you!
It's a beautiful spot, about 100 metres from the River Murray (Australia's biggest river by volume), which is very high at present. Lots of photo opportunities, such as a nest of Whistling Kites, with chick, about 60 metres offshore, and well within range.
As you can see, I've changed my profile to suit my situation!
Cheers,
Nick
