Panoramamania...

Poor old Gosling One remains in hospital awaiting parts, although with any luck it should be no more than a day or so before she is back on her wheels. It had better be, otherwise I know of a few mechanics that could well be on the receiving end of a number of creatively explicit nouns.

To keep me from descending into premature insanity while I wait, I've assembled a few panoramas from their component photos, which you can take a gander at below this text; quite a lot of glue and sellotape was involved.

Click on any of the pictures to see the full-size version, although be warned, they are quite large.

The view you are rewarded with once you reach the very top of Australia


Creek crossing via log bridge on the Telegraph Track leading to Cape York


'Gunshot Creek' on the Telegraph Track to Cape York. The photo does not do the angle of descent involved justice at all

To give you a general idea of what is left to do, here is a little map. The route is very roughly indicated by the red line, the UK shaped blob is obviously the UK, and the blue line is the USA. That should give you an incling of the distances remaining. I forget where the map came from, somewhere on the Internet though, so thanks to whoever came up with it in the first place!


The bit in red is the part of the route still left to complete
