I've just had an email from two guys in Yankerrika, who have told me about their super special fare for a trip around Northern oz this month.
They haven't bothered to reply to me, after I told them that super special fares are always available for the very few people who choose to fly north into the wet season, cyclones, floods, roads closed, hire cars not permitted off the main roads and so on.
Better to head to the southern states, where it is 42C and "Catastophic Fire Danger" days.
Somehow, the thought of Chiang Mai appeals to me.
