My name is Miles Lane, aka the bus driver (or if you're my wife - 'Captain'), and the founder of the Telopea Group.

It is with the delight of seeing a Telopea in the bush that I welcome you to this innovative and incredibly powerful app on what is a very moomentous occassion for me and my trusty AI empowered assistant, Millie Moomite. What an incredible journey .... some thirty years plus in the making.

Well for anyone who has already got their hot-off the press edition of the Manilla Express, read my latest contribution, 'Persistent Troughs and Probable Floods' and navigated here ..... relax. Take a seat. Order a coffee .... you haven't missed a thing for the 222 Manilla Express Service to Sydney is not quite ready to depart and remember it is the driver of the bus who always determines that!

Whilst you wait, take a look around you, cast your eyes up to our beautiful mount and the sky above, take a deep breath and stop to consider what the weather is like now, what it was like yesterday and try to imagine what it might be like for the rest of the day. Whilst you do that I'll quickly fill out my journal and share it very shortly.

Cheers - it won't be long now.

P.S. Oh, should you forget to return, or be delayed, or take another route, remember my advice as you might have heard Crowded House sing on my bus ..... 'Always take the weather with you' .... 'for even Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire couldnt conquer the blue-sky'. Enjoy.
