Congrats on your plunge into fulltime travel. Hope your Xmas is great in Stanthorpe, at least it will be cooler in the evenings there. I have just been looking at the forecast and Xmas day is going to be very hot in SE Qld. I will be in the Western suburbs of Brisvegas and I am sure it will be a day for the aircon.
Happy Xmas and have a great 2013 in the playground.
