Hey Rodney!

Your blog looks really cool! You have a follower now. My blog is at
http://reswobiandreaming.blogspot.com It's a palaeo-illustration
blog/art journal which I plan to link to a website showcasing my
images later on. Most of the images that I have on the blog are crap
though because I intend to show how I develop as an "artist" rather
than just show my goods

What sort of project were you working on in Mt. Isa?

Those fossils that you found, how old are they? Are you going to
write about any of them in your blog?

Cheers,

Reswob

projects (e.g. The project I have been working on). With big
companies some are firing people, others like xstrata here in town
just are not putting any new staff on. The good news is that its
expected to pick up faster then it all happened, which is good news.
