"The land on the Sea-Coast is high with steep cliffs, and back inland are very high mountains...the face of the Country is of a hilly surface and appeares to be cloathed with wood and Verdure"

My long-awaited trip to New Zealand creeps ever closer and I've managed to book all my travel across this mysterious and fog-shrouded isle. It makes it feel a lot more real and exciting to know that there's no backing out now and the trip really is going to happen. I have less than a month to make sure I have everything I need, although I'm sure I'll be picking things up along the way since I'm bound to forget something vital. I set up this blog to record the journey and as a convenient place to store my photos, to test it I've uploaded a couple of photos from my recent trip to the Nimbin shire hills where I used to live.-- Captain Cook's journal, 8th October 1769
