Stuck in rural Queensland 27 Dec 201022 Jun 2018 So, here I am, marooned in Warwick, southeast of Brisbane, about one and a half hours drive. Stuck here by this: We missed getting through by half an hour or so. We may be stranded for two days… And no Internet! Administrative Australian stuff
Administrative Travel Diary 5 12 Oct 2009 So, here I am in Oxford, about to go and explore. The conference in Göttingen was absolutely marvellous. I met many interesting people (below the fold I tell you about a few). My only objection was that there was too much data! I’m a philosopher, Jim, not a scientist. Actually,… Read More
Australian stuff I’m so proud of Australia 15 Jun 2010 We’re best at car thefts. Beats those wussy Kiwis, who are only best at half shell mussels. [But, those who eat such things report, they are good.] The UK: CCTV. Germany, solar panels. France: Sugar beet[!] Guess what the US is best at… [Hat tip John Lynch, who is from… Read More

My brother-in-law’s stuck on the other side – about 5 km. south of Toowoomba, looking south, heading for Tamworth. Trade bodies?
No internet, and yet you post on your blog. A festivus miracle! My brother lives in Cairns. Apparently it’s a tad wet up there due to some depressed metereological phenomenon. Really ought to seed the clouds with prozac this time of year.
So you claim to have no internet, all the while having a 3G internet enabled device? I think you’ll have no problems being accepted by the philosophers guild. It’s up there with Plantinga claiming that belief in God is basic, yet belief in Ahura Mazda, Lord Shiva, Wotan, etc is not. 😉
The Bureau of Meteorology says the The Condamine will peak at Midnight. I think you should be able to proceed tomorrow after breakfast. The Condamine does not normally stay up very long at Warwick. Warwick trivium, this is where Billy Hughes had a egg thrown at him when he tried to convince the largely Irish population that it would be a good idea to fight for the King in the Great War.

Yep, that’s what bro-in-law did in reverse (went to Grafton, to come to G.I.) – though I gather the road did open in the early afternoon (from Warwick to Toowoomba). #nottoknow
Deep enough to stop even a large anthropoid ape. That’s deep… (Unless the aquatic ape theory is correct)
