So the truck is fully loaded and ready to go. We're finally heading north! Good-bye Adelaide, good-bye civilization—hello Flinders and the absolute middle of nowhere.
Sadly, the absolute middle of nowhere means I'll only be in touch with you once every week.
But have no fear! Luckily, the department has provided us with a snazzy, Princeton-looking SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger. It's orange and black and the size of my palm, but the coolest thing about it is that it can relay our location via e-mail to this blog (see this post). And better yet—you can follow our movements within the past week on our SPOT shared page!
So expect updates on our location via SPOT every 2 to 3 days, or whenever we change camp. If you don't see anything for a while, you can safely assume that I'm located somewhere within the bowels of some large, previously unknown carnivore from the outback.
Heaps good. (That's the equivalent of 'wicked' in Aussie.) Wish me luck!
