GHJ went on long service leave in 2007, as well as dealing with fires and floods.

A substantial portion of the last three issues was lost in one of the floods.

This was followed by a time of considerable family health issues, which meant we were away for longer than expected.

However we are back working on GHJ #31, in between family, health and work issues. We hope it will be out before the end of 2010. All the articles are in, we just need to do editing and layout.

Thank you for your Patience!
