I am a learner blogger ( WITH A BIG 'L' )

Men are from Mars and I, Jo Hinchliffe, am from Venus ( Bay ), a small coastal town in Victoria at the end of a highway that becomes a road that leads to the ocean that rolls to Tasmania.

I have just had a lesson in blogging from a very patient ' blogger trainer' who has deemed me the worst blogger student on record and has left my house a mere 'shaken shadow ' of his former self'.

He intuitively picked up on my desperate need to learn the craft of blogging as I am setting out on a writing tour in April this year as a 'blond' Nomad to work my way to Cairns hoping to complete not one, but three very different books on 'The Grey Nomads'.

I need a blog so that interested children, teachers, friends, family, nomads and anyone with the sense of the ridiculous can follow my travels.

I can cope with writing, travelling alone and happily working in schools as a poet along the way, but technology looms in front of me like a black hole in space, (which is probably the best description of the techno part of my brain. ) I appear to have a problem in processing instructional information  so this first blog will be a miracle in itself if it becomes published and readable to the 'blog viewer'.

I hope to enthrall you all with my travelling experiences as I head North in my W.B Holden Mobile Home RIG with a cupboard full of costumes and my pet banana 'Skin." I will certainly be 'Lunaseaonthehighway' on my 'She'll Be All Write Mate ' writing tour, 2008.

If you want to learn a little more about me before I depart, log onto my website and find out about my work, books, costumes and trip schedule.
