Edition 211: 22nd July 2010
Hi ExplorOz Reader,
We’ve got a bumper edition of the ExplorOz Newsletter for you this week. David and Michelle are back from the National Gathering so
the office is in overdrive! The response to the Gathering was overwhelmingly positive and we received some great feedback from the attendees.
Michelle and David documented the Gathering, as well as their own post-gathering trip across a few blogs. The National Gathering Blog can be read HERE
and David and Michelle's Trip Reports can be read
here:Wiluna to Telfer via Gibson Desert
andRudall River National Park. David and Michelle weren't the only ones busy writing whilst on holiday! Member - Adrian C (VIC)
penned an entertaining poem, aptly named "ExplorOz Gathering Bush Poem". It was a hit at the Gathering, and I am sure it will be amongst our Newsletter readers as well. To read Adrian's poem click HERE. Make your Blog & Place updates from the bush!
As you'll read in David and Michelle's blogs, they utilised the NEW site feature where you can take a photo with your mobile phone and write a few words to describe the place you have photographed and send it from your phone to the ExplorOz website. This creates a new place or update in the ExplorOz Places system. David and Michelle (and now a rapidly growing group of other Members) also use this same feature to write and publish their blogs, and so can you! It's very easy and we all know that these updates are really useful but get forgotten when you get home, so that's why we wrote this software to make it more convenient for you to do the updates when you are out there! To find out more, read the Site Tips Blog - Mobile Updates. ExplorOz for DummiesYes, there is a step-by-step guide to help those that feel they are "dummies". The ExplorOz team create Blogs with helpful site tips based upon common questions, tricks and tips as well as step-by-step guides to make your ExplorOz experience more efficient and more exciting!
