Re: Lion Log
I read this and log #2 and was subtly reminded that you have had a heap more hassle than me; so amazingly well done that you appear to have come out of the other end without me needing to cart you off for some serious treatment at the Base Hospital Mental Health Unit!! 
Take care, and ditto on the Cairns stuff. The Wet Tropics is unique in Aus and a wonder to behold...

Re: Lion Log
Interesting to note that 3 of those people who commented - Juliecabs, Rooksie and Kris Maynard have either gone or are going back to the UK

Re: Lion Log
Thanks very much.
I guess we are quite resilient.
We don't feel we fail at anything......we prefer to consider a result as a less satisfactory success.
