Well, on Thursday our time we'll be winging our way to Oz, arriving there Oz-time Saturday morning. There we'll crash for 24 hours or so with one of our hosts (contact Bob Bolton for further details). Next we'll secure a rental car for our trek to the Blue Mountains, basing ourselves in a lovely looking place in Blackheath where we'll try out the hiking trails, riding stables, and the Thursday night music gathering at the Ivanhoe Hotel. Then it's back to Sydney in time for the session at the Shannon Hotel on Friday. Then it's the Toongabbie Folk Club on Saturday. We disappear off the screen to Cairns for a few days, gathering at the Havana Cafe on Wednesday December 12. We'll be back in Sydney to catch The Roaring Forties' holiday program at Almost Acoustic. Then we are unsceduled, other than frantic shopping, for the rest of the time until we fly out Friday, December 21.

It may be time to start a new thread, with a link back to this one if anyone is interested. We should be able to provide some updates while we're staying with our Sydney hosts.

Thanks again to all you Oz folks who have been so helpful!;-)
