We're about ready to leave Australia so I've recorded this brief update just to show that we still exist!
So we had to give it up in the end. We finally had a window but Tigger was not fit.

Welcome to PodCastaway 2009. We're only 2 weeks into our 2009 cruising season and have progressed only about 200 miles up the coast of Queensland. But it was about time I made a podcast episode, and I'm sure you want to hear about our trips to New Zealand and Tasmania!
Recorded during our passage from Port Vila, Vanuatu, to Bundaberg, Australia. We made stopovers at Huon Atoll and Chesterfield Reef.This is the last Podcast of this cruise. Thanks for coming along.
We've spent six weeks in the northern Banks Islands of Vanuatu, an area less often visited than the rest. We attended the 2008 Vanualava Cultural Festival.
Before my son Nick left us after 3 months aboard, I interviewed him about his experiences.
I've finally uploaded the podcast recorded between leaving New Caledonia and arriving at Luganville in Vanuatu.

Recorded during our passage from Ha'apai, Tonga, to Savu Savu, Fiji. Includes accounts of our traumatic departure from Tonga, and our awesome whale watching trip! I encoded this at 32kbps - it sounds OK (to me) and is half the size.

Very informative. Better than a social media hub.
