Tour Itinerary
www.GBMRT2016.org.uk
After much deliberation regarding the itinerary, we have decided to stay in Tasmania throughout
the tour. While consideration was given to a warm up shoot and sightseeing in another part of Australia, it
was decided that the logistics and effort of splitting the tour between the Australian mainland and Tasmania
(especially the transportation of kit) would detract somewhat from the main focus of the tour. That focus
being the winning of the Woomera Trophy (and definitely not getting a sun tan). Some R&R will, however,
be necessary to ensure that we remain fresh and focused. We might even find time to ‘throw a prawn* on the
barbie’.

*A very brief search of the internet suggests that this is the correct Australian term, and that Paul Hogan (aka Crocodile
Dundee) had no business whatsoever calling it a ‘shrimp’. As anyone with any common sense knows, if you were to ‘throw a
shrimp on the barbie’, it would simply fall through the grill onto the hot coals below.
