I'm heading to Australia and New Zealand on my next survey trip in October/November, with one of my survey destinations being Perth, the only major city on Australia's rugged western coast. As if Perth wasn't remote enough, about 1600 miles off the northwest shore lies Christmas Island, an Australian territory, closer to the islands of Indonesia. For years, I've been overly interested in this island, since I saw a documentary on their famous annual Red Crab migration. I'm hoping this might be my best chance to go, since my work will be taking me the majority of the distance, and the timing will be very close to the predicted migration period. There are some links here below with more info, definitely check out the video.

A couple of really poignant novels written by a famous author of the 1960s. He mixes satire, black comedy and science fiction in a really interesting way. If you want to get an idea of what they are like, check out this short story. It's probably my favorite piece of literary work ever written.
Harrison Bergeron- Kurt Vonnegut
