Yes indeed, a fee rise is upon us so I won't bore anyone with the usual cliche's about rising costs etc. etc. Basically, a large number of opinions were aired during some "vigorous" debating which resulted in new fees being agreed upon for 2005. Our old $30 subscription which has not risen for many years is being lifted to $45 with a family subscription of $60 being introduced. Percentage wise, this may seem steep but a number of initiatives are about to be undertaken in the form of perpetual trophies, international team funding and, dare I say it, an upgraded magazine featuring a quality colour cover and centre page spread. These are just some of the initiatives that we felt were necessary to take us forward and grow. Also, if your are an online subscriber, your credit card statement will show the payment under "oceanswims.com". There has been a little confusion over this so I hope this sets things straight. On a sad note, which seems to becoming quite common!!], another of our legends is no longer with us. The incomparable Drew Kettle lost his fight with cancer recently and his incredible career is featured in detail. If you are a devotee of Dave Blaikie's 'Ultramarathonworld" web site, you will be well aware that Dave's site has suffered a major crash. Ultramarathonworld.com has been a comprehensive source of World wide ultra information for several years. True to form, Dave has note given up hope completely and is hoping to possibly resurrect the site at some later stage. Overseas, Dipali Cunningham continues to lead the world with her incredible multi day performances while Queensland's indestructible Bill Thompson shows no signs of slowing down as he conquers more and more 100 Mile events in the US. Bill's training and race day strategies are far from conventional and his approach to the sport is subject to a number of articles in this issue. As unconventional as it may be [bacon, eggs and champagne mid race!!!], Bill's formula is a winning one. By the time this magazine arrives, the 100km World Challenge in Winschoten will have been run. Our team is made up of Tim Sloan, Warren Holst, Jonathan Blake, Mike Wheatley, David Criniti and Mal Grimmett. Finally, apologies for this issue being a little bit late .....Can I blame Olympic Games induced sleep deprivation???

  • Essential Information About the Overland Track
    OVERLAND TRACK Essential information Thank you for choosingWhat tothe expect Overland Track as your next walking adventure! The Overland Track is a 6 to 7 day journey covering a minimum of 65km from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair. The track passes beside some of Tasmania’s highest mountains and deepest valleys as you walk through a variety of vegetation communities from buttongrass moorlands to temperate rainforests. Simple huts are provided along the track with campsites and toilets nearby. Once you start walking, the next road and commercial centre you will come to is at the end of the track. You will need to carry your own equipment and food for the entire journey. Walking with children We do not recommend the Overland Track for very young children (under 8 yrs). Daily walk distance is between 8-17 km and unpredictable weather, including blizzards, can occur at any time, even in the middle of summer. If parents/carers do intend to walk with young children, we recommend the children gain experience on other less demanding multi-day walks and their parents/carers have experience walking in Tasmania’s alpine areas. Be prepared! The Overland Track is a self-sufficient walking journey. In Tasmania’s high country you may be exposed to weather extremes. In summer you can depart from a hut in the morning enjoying a sunny day only to be battling through a snowy blizzard by evening. It is essential that you carry warm clothing, waterproof jacket and pants, a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, food, cooking equipment and first aid kit.
