Started making hotel bookings today.
Good news: Got the Southern Lobe sewed up -- reserved with Mount Dare and with Old Andando Homestead accomodations.
Bad news: The Ross River Homestead is privately leased for the whole year because they are filming a corny TV movie there. This is going to fuck up the logistics of our Eastern Lobe. I'll have to figure out where else we could stay, or what other route we could follow. This sounds like a cool enough lobe that it's worth making the logistics work somehow.
I haven't bothered booking the Alice Springs accomodations yet. The tourist industry is weak there now, and I don't have much concern about finding rooms. I'll do that later this week.
I tried to contact Jol Fleming, but when I called him he was away until July 21st. His answering machine left a handphone number, but the number dumped right to voicemail. I assume he is tearing around the bush somewhere. I'll keep trying over the next few days and maybe get lucky.
