there is some nice looking bushes around the pirateship, and i highly recommend the tumble weeds out near the grand canyon,
hard choice south or west? west has the skywalk. when we went west 22 $£$%^%%$ years ago, it was amazing, the indians took us to the lookout in a dirty harry school bus, with broken windows, and cooked us lunch in the ground. went in 2012, and the skywalk was pretty awesome, but
in 2010 we did the south rim, and you get more of a natural setting. you also get to stop at route 66 on that trip, and it was a really cool spot!!
we drove last time to the grand canyon. really, dont miss it. im not a sight seeing person at all,but i could just sit all day andlook at it, its just o humongous, andamazing.

You speak of the incident in Joburg yes?
This is what happens when humans breed Cubs for " petting" - the lions associate humans with food and lose their fear and then they are sold off for canned hunting - this incident happened in one of those disgusting horrible places we would not be seen within cooee of 
In the wild such as in Etosha they have no interest in us sitting in our cars - they crossed the road about a metre in front of us and didn't not even give us a sideways glance you just need to respect them and not encroach on their space or challenge them.
And follow the rules - they are there for a reason!
Missing the cold of Melb - yeah NAY WPT

I'll def keep Facebook updated, I'm staying right in the middle of the strip so I'm sure I'll get plenty of photos to put up.
5150, I'm sure you'll survive without me for a while. Just pop by the "farm" and lob some kibble in the basement for me will ya

Bought myself a kobo ereader today.
Had a look at the Kindle, the kindle fire is more like a tablet and I already have one of them, the basic ereader was nice, but Amazon is too much like Apple for my liking, too closed in their eco system. So I went the Kobo.
got the Aura HRO from JB Hifi. 6.8 inch screen, 3 gig of memory and a micro SD card slot so you can expand it easy.
Got it home, set it up, bought a few books from the Kobo website and also plugged it into the PC and drag and dropped some books I'd downloaded straight into it.
Nice and light, easy to use, waterproof (within reasonable limits) and easy to read apparently even outside in the sun. Perfect to cart on holidays and use laying round the pool having a drink.

Kobo seems to have a good rep. Never tried one myself, I prefer actual paper, but I have customers who use Kobo and it causes no trouble. Any product customers don't ask me to fix is a product I recommend.

Paper is good, but takes up too much space in luggage and I need glasses to read them. This thing can hold thousands of books, takes up bugger all space and I can adjust the font size so it's easily readable with no specs.

That sounds horrific Stui  BUT sounds like you will enjoy it as much as we are enjoying Namibia!
We are up in the north western region now`- the lodge we are at is set in the mountains so we are almost in a tree house - its fantastic!
Thinking about a dip in the pool its 3.30pm and a beautiful sunny 31 degrees - as soon as we finish our beer of course.
Tomorrow we are off to track the desert elephants - life couldn't get any better
We should have travel thread!!

Shotguns? For elephants? What a terrible thing to suggest. As Morrigu knows, these are very beautiful animals, and the largest creatures to walk the earth. You need at least a three inch mortar or a suitable anti-tank missile to do any good with elephants. Give that friendly Mr Putin a call, he's sure to have a spare one you can borrow.

Stayed at a friends in the hills behind Healesville last night, and got to pat/ feed a wombat with a Bub in its pouch at the back door! Awesome experience. Her other half is a balloon plot, he's off to Kenya soon for 7 weeks work. Sounds heavenly, might have to investigate! (Not the balloon, too high!)

Yeah, not much bush to be found on the south rim theses days, not since the Brazilians invaded.
And Stui, do act your age, don't go trying to root 66 year olds as appears to be the done thing over there for some reason.
