Day 505-11-99
This is my last day.
Woke up with mixed feelings. Feelings of delight mixed with unbridled joy and blessed relief. I am supposed to be on the old Canning Stock Route but it's still too wet.  It used to take up to four months to get a message from one end to the other over some 1490km of really rough track - or as recent rains have proven - mud! (There’s nothing like a bit of history to make you really appreciate technology.)

I am no Crocodile Dundee and after all this emptiness, cyberspace is the only space I want for a while.

Dialled into the office LAN, read and replied to e-mail.

Getting this last day of my diary together. Checked the completed demo module of the site on Internet to see if the finished thing, video, audio, graphics, the works had been successfully up-loaded to the host server via satellite. It all works. Pretty amazing! Now if the car starts I’ll see you for a coldie back in the Big Smoke.

This is Captain Shaggy of the Starship MiniSat MultiMedia signing off. Click on the watch symbol and I'll say goodbye in person.

PS. If I’m not back in a day don’t send help. I’ll e-mail you!

 We enjoyed sending Shaggy outback so much, we decided to ship him off to Kathmandu. See how he got on there in his Diary of Nepal
