Update and latest photos

I've now arrived in New Zealand, and am about to start hitting the road with the Kiwi Experience, which will take me around both islands over the next month or so, stopping off at both unheralded locations and major centres such as Wellington and Christchurch. I aim to write a post every weekend, but it is possible delays may occur as I will have less internet access. My sports and church reports are due soon as well, got a bit behind. My latest batch of photos is now up at Picasaweb http://picasaweb.google.com/maxbarnish/CapeTribAndFraser?authkey=CbbKy61gRFw# (I have changed settings on past albums, sorry if anyone has been having access problmes, should be fixed now) and on facebook. For Picasa, you can also go to my homepage at http://picasaweb.google.com/maxbarnish , where all my albums are to be found.
When I wrote my last post, I'd just been on a scenic journey along the Barron Gorge. Since then, I've travelled further North into Far North Tribulation to see Cape Tribulation. En route we stopped at Mossman Gorge, which in this land of marine beasts, provided a rare swimming opportunity. After leaving Cairns, I flew to Brisbane, the capital of Queensland. My purpose in being there was to visit spectacular Fraser Island, where similar lake swimming opportunities presented themselves. The desert trek however was a little taxing for a man of so little body mass. From Brisbane, I transited via stormy Sydney to Auckland to start the Kiwi leg of my journey. I now have around 5 weeks of my adventure remaining, and am due to return to the UK on 31/3. Looking forward to seeing London and Cambridge-based people upon my return to home shores.
