I'm currently camped at
Alexandra Bridge SE of Margaret River & the interesting thing is the I can get wireless internet connection (Telstra) with an external
antenna however no Next G
phone connection even with a boster
antenna.
Normally the other way around if you listen to others. I've been on the road from
Brisbane for over 3 months now & have been surprised at the availibility of both
phone & internet connections.
During the trip I have not come across any EO member however I have another 7 weeks to find one.

Nice part of the State
John.
Pity about those gennies.
Which way are you heading from there?

Hi
John - HORRIFIED that the gennies were taken from by your vans. Hope you get them back intact, or the low lives get caught and made to repay you both.
Is your Internet GSM? I travelled with NextG Internet, and only got reception in a few
places (NW & central NT). Most towns that had NextG had GSM as
well anyway.

We have just returned
home ( 6 weeks ago ) from spending 4 months in West Aus, had EO sticker across windscreen and on back of cruiser and van, didn't see any EO members and they obviously didn't see us.

We spent over four months travelling this year, and in that time, only met two ExplorOz members.

We have just returned to
Perth after a three month tour around "the block" and during our travels saw several EO stickers ,usually on vehicles on the move however in
Mildura / Gol Gol set up
camp in a CP next to a member and again up the coast of FNQld (place escapes me) - so there are a few of us out there. have a safe seven weeks . Regards Alan
