Now that the Great Tea Trolley Disaster of 2016 is over (I wonder if anyone gets the reference), https://librivox.org/uploads/carolin/australianexplorerstheirlaboursperilsandachievements_05_grimm.mp3 has been re-uploaded again, and marked as PL-OK.

Cheers,
SOTE

For a man whose constitution was never robust, Allan Cunningham certainly got about a bit!

A couple of PL notes:

1:15 - 'Allan C was born at Wimbledon, England' - I think I heard 'WimbleTon', rather than 'WimbleDon'.

7:01 'Upon prosecuting their research upon this mountain belt...' I heard '...under this mountain belt'.

All the best,

Phil

hi guys, any progress with this project?

Apologies. I missed the upload of Section 11. A couple of PL notes...

13:44: '...will allow me to bring my darling [I heard 'any daring'] scheme to a successful termination.

17:36: ... 'a Mr Skuthorpe' - I think I heard 'Skullthorpe' (which could be the right pronunciation. I don't know)

But is this project still active? I hope so, as I am enjoying these readings! There are still PL notes outstanding from more than a year and a half ago...

Hey Chris, what's up mate ?

Well...just to alert you officially that I've taken over as MC for Carolin. I see you have been quite absent from the project for about a year. Please let me know whether you plan on continuing or if you have other plans.

I'll change the first post, so you'll know that from now on all files need to be uploaded to my folder.

see ya

Update: all files are now moved to my folder, and the file-names in the MW are renamed. I shortened the filename a good deal in the process and added the obligatory _128kb at the end. Back when you started that was not mandatory yet. (yes...this project is that old

)

carry on...

Section 13 - Chapter 12 - Burke and Wills's Expedition Across the Australian Continent completed and ready for PL.

https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/australianexplorers_13_grimm_128kb.mp3

This is the sad chapter.

There's a lot of Australian Colonial artwork associated with the Burke and Wills Expedition.
