"burnt to death from a tent fire on the gold fields." How sad!! :( You've just reminded me of our trip down to Oz last April. We managed to make it to Sovereign Hill for a few hours (Lauren HATED the flies, she's definitely not an Aussie! lol) and had a wonderful time and got some great photos! :D I wanted more than anything to make it to Bendigo to do some hands-on research but our get-together with friends there was cancelled and then we didn't have a free day during the week. Just makes me even madder at the US Army for not letting hubby have 4 weeks instead of 3 cause we only got 15 days in which to visit Dad, Casey, Mum in Tassie and all the other friends who had "nabbed" me and demanded we meet. I'm sure I would've found plenty of stuff on my Bynons and Armstrongs too ... sigh!! Thanks for reminding me what a great time we had! :D Take care, Rob.
