Michael will fly out of Point Cook in Victoria tomorrow morning before retracing the historic journey (following its exact path and dates as closely as possible) in his beloved seaplane.
You can follow the journey live and perhaps arrange to catch up with Michael along the way

Physicists have deduced subtle hints that the that drives the universe to expand faster and faster may be slightly with time.
If true, it would be the first real clue we have gotten about the nature of dark energy in 25 years, said , an astrophysicist at Johns Hopkins University who won the Nobel Prize for co-discovering dark energy in 1998.
The new observations come from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument ( ) team, which today unveiled a of the cosmos of unprecedented scope, along with a bonanza of measurements derived from the map.
To many researchers, the highlight is a plot showing that three different combinations of observations all insinuate that the influence of dark energy may have eroded over the eons.
Its possible were seeing hints of dark energy evolving, said Dillon Brout of Boston University, a member of the DESI team.
Researchers inside and outside of the collaboration all stress that the evidence is not strong enough to claim a discovery.
The observations favor the erosion of dark energy with the sort of middling statistical significance that could easily vanish with additional data.
But researchers also note that three distinct sets of observations all point in the same intriguing direction, one thats at odds with the standard picture of dark energy as the intrinsic energy of the vacuum of space
the quantity that Albert Einstein dubbed the cosmological constant due to its unvarying nature.
Its exciting, said Sesh Nadathur, a cosmologist at the University of Portsmouth who worked on the DESI analysis. If dark energy is not a cosmological constant, thats going to be a huge discovery.
The City of San Francisco used to have a Pumping District and no further elaboration was required.

"Researchers say findings from map with three times more galaxies than previous efforts could challenge standard idea of dark energy."

I drew the smallest possible convex polygon that encircles all the geocaches/geohashpoints I've found! (And learned a little about convex hull algorithms.)

Long ago, a fragrant root from Southeast Asia journeyed to England via Eurasia: Known as "icivr"(meaning ginger + root) in South India, it spread to the North as "sigivera" in Prakrit, and finally arrived to the West, (zingberis) in Greek & later in Latin gingiber.
It was such a long trip
