I was thinking about the 4x4 just for Brisbane - and particularly Fraser Island, this being Claire's major nod towards me playing with a big car-shaped toy on holiday. It's looking like we're going to fly Virginblue from Sydney to Brisbane as it'll save us a lot of time.

As for accomodation - thanks for the offer, but I think I've got a family friend's place lined up for Melbourne... I just have to check they're around! If C has her way we'll be sleeping in tents the whole holiday, but I'm rather fond of real beds and fewer intimate wildlife moments!

Melbourne is currently planned for sometime around the 12th-14th March, and I should be on email... no great new toys to show anyone (just, a month later and the prototypes would be in a state to travel...) but if anyone is after non-slip rotary knobs, spare mk2 buttons, empeg stickers, etc I can bring some booty
