reconnXpedition
A Postal Connector<br /> <br /> Long ago, in a land bereft of megabytes and downloads, people would send postcards to family, friends and loved ones from exotic locales. Imagine receiving your own hand-written postcard, composed by moonlight under the Southern Cross and carried by CamelPost across the red dunes, ultimately to be posted from the legendary outpost of Birdsville in far western Queensland. Definitely one to slip under the magnet on the fridge door.
A Digital Desert Connector<br /> <br /> You just paid for 3MB of data transfer for uploads to the Expedition blog and to Education Through Expeditions.<br /> • In addition to the above, you will also receive a digicard ‘posted’ from a reconnXpedition campsite during the journey. You also have my profound appreciation, & bragging rights to your friends about helping an explorer in the Simpson Desert upload posts to his blog as well as,<br /> • Acknowledgment on the supporters page on the expedition blog
The Where’s Morgan? Connector<br /> <br /> Who’s Morgan, you ask? He is the boss of the mob and one of Australia’s most travelled dromedaries.

The Tektite Connector<br /> <br /> Some parts of the Simpson Desert are known as tektite hotspots.
