Always Travelling

I got that restless feeling in my feet whilst looking at photos of my girlfriend's stunning island home, where she has wonderful thick greenery, mountains, and crystal clear water over coral reefs, all within a stone's throw. The views from the balcony of her workplace are simply sensational!

I need that travelling feeling.... Soon, soon it will happen. I have to graduate first. So after looking at those pics I spent the next hour on Google Earth, as I sometimes do, thinking about stuff - politics, history, economics, international relations...

Anyway. Australia is beautiful in it's own way. The red Aussie Outback... just take a look at the Laverton golf course for instance, in the left hand half of the pic below. Not a blade of grass to be seen! I don't see any bunkers either... unless you call the dirt fairways bunkers too! That line of trees running from upper right to lower left is actually Skull Creek, and out of shot (further east) that creek saw at least two confrontations between the police and Indigenous folk in the not-so-great history of race relations in this place. The second pic is just south of the first, but is enlarged a bit more. Unfortunately the town has two different aerial photos melded together, and the one over the western part of town is at a lower resolution, so I have cropped it before the change.
