I went to book the bus from Lake St Claire to Cradle Mountain today and found that there is no bus service on the day we need it. We could charter but the standard fees were 4 times more expensive and might have been even worse considering we need it on a public holiday. So it looks like we will be doing a 2 car shuffle unless we can think of some other solution or find someone who is looking to share a charter. That means driving two cars up to Lake St Claire, leaving one there, driving the rest of the way to Cradle and leaving one there. Then at the end of the walk driving back to Cradle to pick up the car from there and then driving back home in two cars again. Ain’t that going to be fun!

With a bit of luck we’ll at least get some good accommodation up there for the night before we start.

I’ve been putting a route idea into Google Maps\Earth which I’ll have up soon, it will give a better idea of my plans as they are in my head. I’ve found this to be a pretty cool way to do an Itinerary/Route mesh-up. I also have the Overland Track route mapped in it so I’ll post that too.

Over the weekend we had Christmas in November with my Parents\Sisters as they are going to the mainland over Christmas. We got movie ticket vouchers from Mum & Dad and Into the Wild comes out here in Oz tomorrow, so I’ll be seeing that since I’ve been hanging out for it for so long. Sounds like I will be going myself though, my girlfriend doesn’t want to see it.

I’m being tempted into a theme change. I think going to a magazine style theme like BraveNewTraveler and Vagabondish have gone to will allow me to organise my plans, routes, etc into something that is more attractive and more useful. To be honest though, I’m sick of the work that goes into changing themes and getting everything to work they way you want it again. If I continue to consider it I’ll be making damn sure I get a setup that is exactly what I want so that there will be minimal changes in the future.
