Ma grande tristesse fut uniquement de voir autant d&#8217;aborigènes dans la rue, sans ressource et dont on doit se méfier selon ce qu&#8217;on lit ou dit, car le taux de criminalité est très élevé dans le secteur (malheureusement l&#8217;association de leur situation et des problèmes de la ville pèsent lourd dans le regard des gens).

The lightning was so bright and the thunder was so loud it sounded like it was right over us. But I was warm and dry. It was such a good night of sleep!<br>Next day, we woke at 4:30AM to watch the sunrise over Uluru.

Maybe they got an Orient Express type ride in their private berths with butlers and chefs. <br><br>But what happens behind those closed doors with the annointed ones remains a mystery since we couldn't walk past our car or the buffet carriage and of course were reminded several times that we paid for Red and to ...

Had today off from work so I managed to get a longish lie-in, and then Nico cooked us a big, greasy fry-up for breakfast- yum! It was reported that it got down to just 4 degrees celcius last night, which is the coldest its been recorded, in September, in Alice. I was in bed with two doonahs on (duvets), plus my PJs, jumper, socks and my woolly winter hat (which surprisingly I've got a lot more use out of than I thought I would in Oz!). <br> Today the sun was out, but it was still ...

... it. Soft mood lighting, dramatic voice-overs mixed in with sea soothing / whale call music - 80's soft porn actresses displaying the wears of opal, fake mustache stuck to man depicting the olden times when Opal first discoverd. Oh how i wish you could see it to understand!!! was a classic! Adam and I are ******* ourselves. Very naughty school children.

... now enjoy the complete emptiness I&#8217;m surrounded by for a few more minutes . . .<br><br>Hermannsburg, 7/27, 1450<br><br> I&#8217;m sitting on a rainwater tank in this &#8220;historical town.&#8221; This is a place where Germans tried to convert Aborigines.
