October is Australia Month #3

I made some changes on the blog chronically my Australia journey, and plan to update it some more to make it a smoother read. I even have plans to adapt it into a screenplay. I've got Christian Bale in mind for the lead.

In other Australia news, those intrepid Aussies have discovered "hundreds" of new marine species in the Southern Ocean, 100 nautical miles off Tasmania.

"A total of 274 species of fish, ancient corals, molluscs, crustaceans and sponges new to science were found in icy waters up to 3,000 metres (9,800 feet) deep among extinct volcanoes."

Here is a related video. Listen for the obligatory "global warming" nonsense.
