I am curious as to how they created the list, as there are no really small or out of the way places listed. I would assume they garnered the list from their member database.
I asked for one, and Benalla is not on the list, but Wangaratta is (and is ~ 35km or so away). I'll just wait and see if anything turns up in the letterbox

Has anyone in Australia received word that they're getting one. I filled in the form within hours of the launch, but haven't heard a word. :?

I think you have answered your own question but as I see it the purpose of the travel bugs is to raise awareness of diabetes whilst travelling to the target locality.

The focus is on awareness not getting there.

There was no mission for the bug, unless it is when I register it. I will let you know

Did those who have received a TB get some sort of idea they were getting one?
I registered but never heard boo.
