No worries about being water-proof

A slow week for all the wrong reasons, but I'm pleased to report that testing of the water-proof, shock-proof and kid-proof camera is still on schedule.
Since handing it across to the Under-12 Wrecking, sorry, Testing Team last Tuesday, the camera has spent at least 2-3 hours under fresh/salt/tap water each day, and works fine. Image quality is great - the camera has an auto white-balance setting that seems to know when it's underwater (automatically compensating for the blue or yellow casts), and the flash lights everything up without a problem, as the Chief Wrecker, sorry, Chief Tester shows above.
Stand by for shock-proof, dust-proof and kid-proof tests in the days to come.
BTW, despite the expression on the tester above, he's actually not having a sad, bad or otherwise unhappy time. It's just that most Aboriginal people - old and young - don't smile for the camera.

I understand that the word "slow" in NT has a similar meaning to the same word in India, ie. "REALLY slow" or "don't even bother keeping time", as buses don't come late in India, they just come when they come...

Gee, your activities seem pretty full-on — it must be a lot to think about, and I guess you'd have plenty of time for that, eh?

Some great images on your blog Grainge... reckon you must have a shitload of good stuff to show us when you get back.

Go well bro, Nicos :)

The Blog's a great read, except now you've given out the url, you're faced with all these pesky people saying "post something new ya fark!"

Nah, bloody awesome pics digger, and I can't wait to hear all the real stories over a few pints of homebrew on the back deck.

Do us a favour and bring back a few Darwin stubbies - they'd be tops for the homebrew!
