turn it off,and hey presto this happens. The long aisles to the departure gates are festooned with ecstatic pics of people on holidays all round the world, and I think I caught one of them in reflection. |

Carrying all my stuff is rather an effort, (my bike bag lacks the 2018-essential wheels) so I used this trolley to transport my stuff to the Airport Novatel where I stayed the first night. |

Ducks? on the foreshore. |
Hi,
Most of the time, the vintage, creaky, venerable, wonky Bickerton bike I own sits on the top of the wardrobe at home crying use me, use me, I still work y'know, and mostly I ignore it, choosing to ride my recumbents instead. But occasionally it gets pulled down, dusted off and ridden on, mostly when I want a very portable bike.
Three years ago, I visited a
transport conference in Sydney, having got there by train, a year ago I used it for transport
back from fringe furniture, and this time I am in Darwin, having got here by walking, train, bus, plane, trolley and lastly but not leastly mighty Bickerton. Anyway the pictures tell most of the story. I bumped into phd students and conference presenters Lisa and Sarah on the airport bus - they were flying out an hour before me.
Best Wishes
Steve Nurse from Darwin YHA and
ATRF conference.
Thanks ffor writing this
