Z is reclusive AND he doesn't show up on film or camera sensors either for some reason.


Zen, you are just adding fuel to my antipodal fire.

Good job documenting, and explaining for those of us unfamiliar with Australia, your trip. Thank you.

Those road trains should carry a bumper sticker I saw recently...

I love the fact that crocs in Oz are one of the few animals you don't have to worry about. Freshwater ones at least.

Crazy hippy people.
Glad you avoided the trap.

Well, no one has ever seen Zen, have they?

In my mind he has as James Franco thing going on. But who knows?

The mullet/mohawk combo with the extensive tattoos on the arm we not what I pictured.

I also kind of pictured James Franco.

But you know what? I bet that IS him!

(do you think this will make him post himself? That's what I'm trying to do.)

I'd always kinda pictured Zen as looking glatt-ish but sounding like Hugh Jackman.

Eclipses can happen anytime during daylight hours. I saw one in 2002 that was about an hour before sunset.

wow. just- wow.

so cool, all of it-worthy of a DeadHead----actually BEYOND worthy as you had to face actual wildlife (chuh-"timid" or not, I am NOT getting into ANY water with ANY sort of croc or gator anywhere near it. Example: I might take a chance and swim in a lake in Maine but no way am I swimming in any Florida puddle) but I digress----

that was awesome and it seems life affirming for you. Isn't nice when the Universe gives presents like that? and I'm so glad to see the back of your, well....back. But again, I would NEVER get in that water. It looks like it has a very squishy bottom like you're walking on raw eggs. I can only stand sugary-white sands in my lakes. No muck. But see, I"m a wuss. I also would've required an outlet for my blowdryer.

Beautiful country-so wild looking. Now: come on. Let's see your eyes!

PS ---- just to expand on my muck obsession: when I go to maine my uncle dumps a huge truckload of pure white sand into the water around their dock for me. Aren't I the little princess?



PPS - that was also years ago when we actually spent 99% of our time IN the water. What can I say? I just don't like muck.
