Mobile & Internet access

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Thought I’d better get an article started about our mobile and comms options.

We can, of course, go cheapie cheapie, or super expensive!!!

Cheapie cheapie:
Normal mobiles - only coverage in built-up areas.
Laptop for offline work (already own the laptop).
Internet at libraries (USB key to transfer stuff to/from laptop).

Super expensive:

Just had a call from Telstra - to review our account options…

This is what they suggested:

Robert Holmes runs a B&B along side his observatory, and conducts daytime talks and demonstrations on the planets, as well as hands-on sessions at night observing the stars and planets.

Talbot is located about half an hour North of Ballarat, Victoria.
