Well worth doing, please keep up the entries - both current and of previous travels.

Looking at your Palm Creek photos, I am so glad that we travelled Cape York back in 1998 - before it became over run with some of the idiots shown in your photos. Palm Creek was "interesting", even back then - but quite do-able by us as solo travellers. It was simply crawl down and crawl up the other side. We did nearly come to grief though; at the top of the north bank, the Driver got out of Truck, to look back down at what he'd just climbed - and forgot to put the handbrake on!! We just wanted the experience, when we did the OTL track then. Doing it didn't have all that gungho stuff it seems to have today. We never had any intention of trying the then gungho Gunshot Creek. Saw some wonderful scenery, which was the point of the exercise. Most of the time, we saw few other travellers. Guess we were lucky, then.

I have been doing a similar blog exercise. I am lucky in that I do keep a paper diary of travels, so blog is really just copying that and incorporating photos. Like you, I find doing this is bringing back wonderful memories. But I am not sure how far to go back, in terms of readers being interested and learning about places.

Some time ago, I transcribed my diaries of our 3 years full time on the road - 1998-2000, into Word format, and added scanned photos, then printed it all out as a "book" for family and friends to read. It ran to an awful lot of pages!! But friends have enjoyed reading it, and we often go back and re-read it ourselves.

For contrast, some '98 Palm Ck pics. Is the change just due to increased travel volume - or to the idiot effect??
