News via the Australian contingent

[Hi! Tim and Fawna writing from Perth this time]

We have had some correspondences with the team and things seem to be going extremely well. Reports of good weather days and trips out to the west to visit the 1070 massif (so called as this is its measured summit elevation). Harvesting the cache has continued as well as extensive geo-debating.

Here in sunny Perth it has been a hectic week back at work, but Christmas holidays are close and mangoes are in season, so quite the change for us. We have had time to go though some of the 3000 photos (not including 3000 rock photos!) and come up with a photo journal viewable here:
