red heat

Alice Springs: I love this place

Giant Rocks and Gaping Holes

Boys Camp
I am so shocked and appalled at what has happened here this morning. John is in town so I can't dump on him so this is my dumping ground! This camp is for kids in pretty dire straits as far as family, crime, social dysfunction and future potential ...
