This page is basically so that Elli's family and friends back in USA can follow her activities on the water, and in outback Australia. Elli spends at least 6 months every year in Australia - paddling a sea kayak in the Summer months, and driving round most parts of Australia in the Winter months.

(Named Ellen Fitchen, called Toni at school, became Elli Tappan when married - photo as of 2006.)
