A long journey around Australia (page 5 of 5)

G’day and thanks for this beautiful and detailed account. It’s always fascinating to discover your own backyard through "someone else’s eyes." I hope you enjoyed the West and that you’ll keep great memories of it, despite the few hiccups at the start of the trip.

Anyway, I’ll move on to Tasmania next. Cheers, X PS Hi to Dom

I first looked at the photos. I’ll read the text later

For me, it’s the opposite... I skim the text, I’ll read it properly later, and the photos can wait until the very end... I landed here to check something out of curiosity... The first few words hooked me, and in the end, I kept going... Looking forward to reading it in detail when I’ve got some time to myself, to check out the waves...

Landed here to check something out, just out of curiosity...

You’d have been better off just asking the question that’s clearly bugging you, instead of jumping all over this travel journal like the other guy you’re replying to.

You would have been wiser to ask the question that’s clearly nagging you instead of wallowing in this travel journal like the sidekick you’re replying to.

Hello, You’re really out of line with your moderator role by launching such a personal attack. You could have guessed, just by skimming a few pages of this journal, that I was won over—by its style, its pace, its life, and its humor. And if I haven’t read more deeply yet, it’s because—you know—I’m currently traveling and have better things to do than wallow in a travel journal. I don’t know Australia, and I don’t particularly want to stay there, but what little I’ve read makes me think I’m going to love reading this journal once I’m back home in India. As for the photos, I often don’t look at them because they’re usually ugly in many travel journals and often serve to mask poor writing. That’s definitely not the case here!!!

I want to tell you that I’m tired of your recurring personal attacks, and from now on, I won’t read any of your comments directed at me when I see your logo. I’ve been a "moderator"—and even more—for over 20 years, and I was trained to remain neutral in that role. Besides, the moderator function should be displayed under the person’s name, as is often the case on many forums.

Hi, I’m a bit disgusted by these personal outbursts and score-settling that are polluting such a great travel journal.

I’ll add that VF isn’t a photo contest site.

All of this is really too bad, but sadly predictable.
