Nice to see your comment, Edda. Your flow of remarks added a great deal to the pleasure of following Freya around Australia, and to a sense of community among those who were (virtually speaking) along for the ride. I hope you were at Caffyn’s Cove to witness the end of this great adventure.

Hi Freya,
it was nice to meet you at your Mordy reception – I’m wondering (once you’ve had a well deserved rest) whether you would like to continue the blog or something similar where people can submit anecdotes or photographs for you to collect. I have some photos that you might like to have and no doubt there would be 1000’s more that could be of interest to you. As far as stories go, in my haste to get to the Queenscliffe ferry by car, I received a speeding fine – but it was the best money ever spent as I could be there to join your final paddle to the finish. I wonder if you were cautioned by any water police for breaking any speed limits!? I trolleyed my kayak onto the ferry and back and enjoyed the beautiful weather conditions on the day. On your show and tell night I asked about the pros and cons of circumnavigating Australia clockwise vs. anti-clockwise. Of course the winds are a big factor, however, there are some noticeable currents and the biggest one (the east Australian current) would often support a clockwise trip. I’m a climate and weather scientist and are looking at a study which examines what could constitute an optimised starting point and direction based on available observed or reanalysed data…I’ll let you know if I find anything interesting.
