journals. And, if you’re looking for a challenging hike to work off your holiday
indulgences, read up about the St Mary Peak and Wilpena Pound Walk that has just

Big Blog Changes
Just launched today, the entire
Blogs section on ExplorOz has undergone a massive look/feel overhaul. We've
finally added some necessary tweaks with a major focus on offering a range of search
options. You can find blogs for any Member using a look-up, or enter any word to
search all blogs containing that word/phrase, or you can search by tag to keep reading
on a favourite topic or theme. All these changes have been made with consultation
with supporting Members who've provided feedback. As usual, this is the first stage
of development so let us know your ideas/comments for future refinements.
