Holly and John Flannery are launched on a much needed Odyssey - a walkabout - and we will be walking of course but also using a few other modern conveyances like planes, boats, cars and trolleys to catch a small "taste" of what is Australia and New Zealand - and to make a few "blogging" notes here, with pictures as we can, as our modern Captain's log so those who care may glance over our shoulders and get some idea what we're seeing and experiencing - of course, access to the world wide web permitting.
