07 March 2010 HUGE apologies to all my avid readers (The Stromans) for such a massive amount of time between blogs.After Cape York we had 3 months back in Karratha, which didn't really warrant a mention in the blog and then busted 2 laptops bringing us up to the here and now.So....with cider in hand I will try and rely on my scant memory to bring you up to date with our tour around Oz.
