Hi Paul, picture of Popples Corner, border of QLD,SA & NT, Australia,
 is not in the original position because the survey chain had become worn
 so the links were not exactly 7.92" long or whatever they are (I cannot
 remember the exact length of the links) so the boundary was not exact.
 However they had agreed on a longitude, the other picture is exactly on
 the boundary of the NT and QLD.

 Hi Paul, I know you like seeing inland Australia, try looking up
 www.abc.net.au/deluge a story about the rain in inland Australia
 during the past three years, yhey think Lake Eyre might even overflow
 this time, which will be the first time since white man has been in
 Australia. You might have to google it as I am not sure the address is
 correct, it was on the ABC 1 TV tonight.
 Regards John Burey.


 That link did not work so this is a close as I could find.

 One drawback to living in an area that has low population density
 is the lack of tax money needed to build flood control infrastructure.

 Weather is changing around the world and we are seeing some of it
 in rainy So Cal this year. I am not saying it is caused by anything
 man has done. I think it is just one of the many weather cycles the
 world has gone through in the last million years.

 We are getting a lot of rain this year but so far the river has not
 gone up. Here are some old pictures from several years ago of flooding
 in my back office when we were living in the hills. SZP was nearly wiped
 out a couple of years ago. Tracy gets flooded out every now and then
 too.

 I'd like to spend some more time flying around in the outback.
 It might be cheaper loading my RV4 in a container and shipping
 it rather than rent. I find the outback fascinating.

Hi Paul,

If everything goes well with the KIS then maybe we can fly it to
Australia from here.I think that Australia will be within the range of
the KIS cruiser,or we might make it with one hop for fueling.I think if
that is doable, it will be a lot cheaper than shipping your RV to
Australia.Maybe it is a dream but why not we are the experimental
rotorheads aircraft.
