Blog Review: Kooka-No-Burra

Great blog Alan, what an adventure. It was very interesting following you as you travelled and trying to guess in which direction you would go next, and why you stopped when you did. Now reading your blog and following your track again it all makes sense. The bit about sending a plane to look for you if you did not return was a nice bit of drama. Most people would be aware that you have a Spot satellite tracking device and a satellite telephone which means if things go pear shaped you exact position is known and you would ring on your satphone to advise what help, if any, you require. These two items cost less than a thousand dollars and allow remote travel much more safely and without the risk of causing a search and rescue mission, at great expense to the taxpayer, any risk to would be rescuers, and much angst to family and friends. As I posted on Facebook, maybe next time.
Chris.
