From www.aec.gov.au/Enrolling_to_vote/overseas/index.htm

Is it compulsory to vote if I am overseas?
Enrolment and voting by people outside Australia is not compulsory, however if you are going overseas you are required to inform the AEC, further information is available.


You can print a form out and fax, post or scan & email to let them know you can't make it
The only bad thing about not being able to vote will be the fact we will be leaving Fiji

My belief is do not get excited about what has been going on for the past 3 weeks for our trip .We will get what we get but it is the windy season and yes it has been windy ,there s a la nina which is good for trade winds . I will not say too much about what the long range synoptic is saying for the start of our trip but it has changed every day for the past 3 and is still too far out .the blocking high that has been over NZ and SE Australia which has dominated weather for the past 3 weeks and given strong winds over fiji is being challenged by some fronts. The models change from day to day as to whether it will reform .The good news at this stage is that the fronts are still forcast well south and there are no ecls in the models (which killed the wind on the last trip for )forming off nthn NSW ,sthn QLD

Ah yes and if I recall we were kiting a bit later that day .Don't get me wrong I'm really excited and seeing great wind and waves there for the past 3 weeks is really encouraging .Don't want to get too carried away by this tho .Remember after being really encouraged things can go tits up .Just ask good ol Kevin 07 .Ahhhh there ,reality check complete
and yes being there will be better than being here wind or no wind

yes we need to be careful not to put the moz on the wind or upset Huey in any way .Currently the longer range forcast charts are all ove r the shop plus ECL's are back .One day they are epic the next trerrible .The good thing is that they are only really accurate up to 7 days out and winter can be even less reliable .For example the forcasters predicted lots of snow in this dump 3 days out from the event and then severely downgraded the system the day before it hit and they end up getting a metre of snow

just looked at the forecast for fiji and theres suppost to be no wind and snowing with full length steamers highly reccommended. water is suppost to be around 13C.
mmmmmm the weather here is looking pretty good

Hi all .i'm going to make a weather call for the trip . The long range charts are starting to show a consistent pattern .It looks like an ECL will form off the nthn nsw coast and move well south and will go under fiji around the weekend of the 14/15 .This will cause a trough under fiji but going on todays forcast and wind on the coral coast it doesn't look like it will switch the wind off.A strong high will then develop right under Fiji .The centre of the high pressures is much further to the north than when we were there in june which might explain why the wind isn't switching off . Now I don't want to upset huey here but I'd be packing a big and small kite and don't plan for much time off to do other things,and those lows going across the tasman are going to create some swell

I know that this goes against my own advice of not getting too excited or dissapointed about forcasts but the last 2 modelling runs have not changed ..It is showing that in addition to Sun being a good day to go to church and a maybe a walk to the falls mon could be a good day to go fishing for barracuda and mahi mahi in the morning or maybe a spot of snorkelling .(I'm off to get some tackle and wire chasers this morning)
