thanks Peter, I like the idea of the bilum bag. I carried one myself for a few years after a wonderful trip into the highlands. Thanks for the photo and your kind comments about honeyeaters. I saw the regent honeyeater for real recently in Taronga Zoo. and imagined I cought sight of a pair on a recent trip through their terrain. Speaking of which I've been meaning to catch up but I've beenreally busy. I've rode my motor scooter from Darwin to Sydney just last week and it was terriffically interesting. Of course I had to ride it to Darwin in the first place, and that was pretty good too.
See you.Ray
