Hello Everyone this is your boy getting ready for another adventure down under. The plan is to take 5 weeks check out Melbourne, the south island of New Zealand and spend a couple of days chasing Tasmainan Devils.
I was in Australia a couple of years ago and I didn't like it very much. Earlier this year while spending time on the computer early in the morning an offer popped up for round trip flights from LA for $500. Being the cheap Swede that I am I hit the purchase button and here we are.
I am getting the Blog in shape now so that I know what I am doing when I hit the road.

Dave and Kathy in Australia . . . "Fair suck of the sav" (exclamation of wonder, awe, disbelief)!
"From jellyfish off the Great Barrier Reef to crocodiles and sharks, poisonous insects and snakes, the continent and its waters host wildlife that merit awe and respect in equal doses."
Knowing Dave's adventure lifestyle, what are chances of following emergencies: death, loss/theft of passport, arrest? Las Vegas futures now open!

I need to know what the hell a billabong is and I'd rather bother you than google.
