Karen rang me this morning to tell me I was on the Channel 9 Today News - the front of me!
Click here to see the video and another here that shows better the kind of terrain we were looking in (I just happen to be in that one too - same shot as before).
There's a shot of firefighters walking towards the camera - I'm the third person in the line, wearing a red beanie.
Form an orderly queue and I'll get around to autographs after I've had my breakfast!
Karen had admonished me for smirking in the shot. Apart from needing to keep cheery while performing what is a fairly grim task, physically as well as emotionally, the cameraman had just popped up out of nowhere and it was a bit surreal.
We'd been bashing through pretty close bush as I said last night and then grouped up by the cliff. Seemingly out of nowhere came a reporter with his notebook in an immaculate long black wool coat and with a cameraman at his shoulder. He got the policeman, Matt, to do a few things then they went away. Next thing I know we're tramping through waist-chest high brush and there's suddenly the cameraman in front of us on the trail. I'd just shouted "have you got a teleporter on you?" when that shot was done.

Such foresight to wear a red beanie so that we can recognise you! Definitely beats the hands that we could see on the news when you went to the Talking Hands concert in Dortmund!!
Did you see I also had a bright yellow jacket with clashing yellow trousers on too? Unfortunately most of theothers had the same idea!!!
Such a shame about the circumstances - but your photos of the mountains are fantastic!
Still waiting for that autograph!
And do I get a spotters fee for "spotting" you on TV??
Sorry, it was Talking Heads you went to see in the Westfalenhalle.
I didn't even notice your mistake!
It was a great concert - Talking Heads, Roxy Music, Dire Straits and Mike Oldfield.
Karen's trip to see Hilltop Hoods this weekend not a patch on all that. Except perhaps in Jamie's eyes . . .
Ishbel very very very excited about babysitting Xavier.
