We have been helping with drafting cattle today and have put off the move to Cairns until Monday morning as there is more work to do tomorrow.
We have purchased a thing called Spot which is a jigger a little like a GPS except you add some email addresses and you can send messages to those email addresses via the satellite network and the Spot network. With this device there is also the functionality called Follow Me where you configure a web site and people can see where you are at any time. I have been trying to add a page to this blog to perform this function with no success so far but stay tuned. The most important functionality for us is SOS where, if we are in trouble we press this button and a message is sent to previously configured emails to say we are in trouble and points to our location.
We are also intending to add some more photos but will do so in the next day or so as Kath is really getting to grips with her new camera and taking some great piccies.

Hi John & Kath. Have been following you trek and it will be quite interesting when you get spot working. For the SOS thing wouldn't you be better off with a personal locator beacon?
Regards John C.
