Summary of events

Did not post for a long time. That had several reasons. I did not get to many updates on Heinz's location. Unfortunately. Especially I am still missing pictures, so far I do not have any. Cannot change that, maybe downloading from flickr, but that would not be the same. We just have to wait.

I updated the google earth map. The green line is the possible tour Heinz did. Might went a different way. Nevertheless, we know that there were some trouble in Alice Spring, but all we know is that the tour continued from there. So, assuming that all sorted out and the planned tour could be continued. The last reported position is (24th of August 2008)

14°55'25.60"S
133° 8'1.60"E

somewhere thermal springs. He reported that these are the sources for the Roper River at Mataranka. He enjoyed the time there as he went several time swimming, even before setting up the camp. It is warm, clear sky and a calm wind. (And and report that this is the opposite of the Kalgoorlie weather as I witnessed this on the weekend). The night before, he stayed at a cabin at Threeways 25 km north of Tennant Creek.

Yesterday, the trip ended in Cooinda in the Kakadoo National Park. Camping. Here, he got into some serious problems as a tire was ripped. While crossing a creek with crocodiles (crocks, as he writes, but not sure what the is) everywhere around. We received the message, so he must have survived this.

Today, he is supposed to be in Darwin. THe official plan is about meeting with the rest of the team ..... (More to come ...)
