Australia Day 2013
A nice relaxing day at home today, just catching up on some relaxation after a busy week and hectic day yesterday. We did a brief bit of shopping during the day and then had lovely roast lamb dinner this evening followed by Apple pie and Custard (well Ice Cream for everyone else as they could not be tempted by custard).

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty Three
Friday 25th January
Walked 11km through the Australian bush today. Not for the fun of it but for work, to measure parts of the trail where data is a bit sketchy.
Started at 8am and walked 1.6km of Section 8, then 1.7km of section 7. the did a few bits of measuring around Checkpoint 5 in Davidson. Then went all the way up to Section 2 of trail and decided not to try and walk another 8km in under 2 hours as we had a schedule to meet other people and we would have been under pressure to finish on time.
Drove to new Checkpoint 2 site, tested data signal and then met representative from parks and a key volunteer and we walked 1.7km into bush to one of our remote junctions on the trail to discuss that. We then walked the 1.7km back out of the bush.
A very hot day to be walking but kept drinking all day.
Got home about 6.30 with the start of one or two blisters.
Had some food and headed to bed at about 9.30pm whilst others watched Andy Murray in semi final beat Federer.

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty
Tuesday 22nd January
Moved desks today at work, we have had a bit of a shuffle around, I'm now back in the desk I occupied back in 2010 when I first started in the Sydney office. It's a much better desk than the one I was in, less exposed and I have some wall space where I can put maps etc up.
Headed home for dinner at about 6.30.
