When Cara travelled with partner, now fiancee Greg Lloyd on their "round the world" trip in 2003/2004 she kept us updated by the fabulously immediate e-mail, an immense improvement over donkey travel. Her e-mails, amusing and perceptive to the countries visited, are contained within.
Also, when Cara made the Oz pilgrimage in 1994 to UK and Eire to suss out the antecedents and flavour of the old countries where New Australians hark from, I wrote her a series of letters containing family information to sustain her and keep her on track as it were in foreign parts, so that she wouldn't step into the metaphorical dogshite. "You have to step into foreign parts to find your foot in foreign shite" - old McGloin saying. None are here at the moment - apart from 1996 which is in the "Music" section under "Irish". I'll add once I've found the discs.Cara 2001 told the story of an unusual nostalgia and drama filled weekend away in Sydney at a birthday celebration for friend Kathy Garey.
