Have been following this from England - I have special interest as I am John King's great great niece and can barely imagine the awful conditions and harshness he suffered. Love the footprint photo, too - very evocative. If I was younger and fitter I would have loved to follow some of the route, but as it is, the nearest I can get is a visit to Dig Tree and surrounds......leave for Oz Friday. Can't wait!</p> Fantastic achievement Dave!

Whilst your verbal descriptions of the difficulties of the last few days of the trip were pretty convincing, the photo is a really great graphic illustration. Hearty congratulations from me and all who I have told of your exploits (and you have certainly been my favourite topic of conversation since you began). All that dogged determination and an artists eye for a great photo - your talents know no bounds!</p> Great photo Dave of the boggy footprints.

I'm not from Australia, so I didn't know about Burke and Willis and I've forgotten how I stumbled onto your web site last year, but I don't know how you "continental explorers" do it. Congratulations ... what a way to get PhD!</p> Wow … what a trip! I’ve been following your journey since the beginning.
