Danger! Danger! Danger Will Robinson. Now I don't really understand what you did, who could based on a paragraph or two?

But suggest that you treat it seriously, ensure your flight it broken down into several legs - the long flight will kill you. Get your travel insurance asap. Once back in oz, get a MRI, then see a physio or doctor that specialises in lower backs and does real time ultrasound training (given that it is one of the few treatments with good empirical support). Be careful picking things up....and don't read advice from on line forums.

(I sure wished I had taken seriously similar "pangs" I had last year, I pulled something in my back cranking some boulder in a twisty sit start. Things went back to fine after a week or so, but had loads of small warning problems after that - felt a bit delicate and stiff after sitting down for too long at work or in the car, but no issues climbing. Then, after a weekend away sport climbing in the gramps, I picked up the laundry at home the wrong way and bang. That was a year ago, I haven't sat down for more than an hour at a given time since, done the rounds of medicos, quit my job, took a lot of codeine....things are manageable now thankfully but a tough year)
