Hello to all. I don't much like beginning an entry with a slightly lame excuse for not updating sooner, but I realio, trulio have been little pet busy over the last week or two. I've been in Darwin, Australia for a while, slowly sweating out my vital life essence under a blazing sun, breathing in pure water from the air while the locals comment on how dry it is. I bet they swim from room to room here during the wet season.
I've written more extensively on my time in Darwin on my other site, which is a bit more suited to brief bloggy snips of travel info than my Diaryland site. Plus, I've been writing the beginnings of a guide for travelling documentary producers, or anyone else who's unfortunate enough to get paired up with a cameraman and told to fly to the opposite end of the earth. After a bit more than a week of travel on the other side of the international dateline, I still can't recall properly what day or even what season it is. I just know that hanging out in Darwin is like being braised alive. Sydney is in the middle of a thunderstorm as I type, which is the first rain they've had in weeks. Tomorrow I go to film at the Sydney Aquarium (platypi!) and then the Taronga Zoo (gorillas and elephants!) but I'm beginning to miss my own bed. Take care until next time, when I can tell you all about being kicked by a platypus' venomous spur or being sat on by a silverback.
