   KG I looked at that picture a few times and came to a firm conclusion. No thanks. You can keep the majesty, grandeur, sweeping endless vista, timelessness and so on. I prefer a bit of rain once in a while and flowers in the garden.

     I just love that area Mara. The silence and the isolation are wonderful. Impossible to describe (or appreciate) unless you spend some time there alone.
     You can have your postage-stamp garden and cold, miserable rain.
     (when it does rain out there, the red earth smells like fresh apricots.)

         And lots of interesting wildlife.
         No roads, no people, no cops, parking inspectors, bureaucrats, crowds, noise. Just peace and quiet. And endless time. The night sky is unbelievable too and a moonrise is something to behold. With a campfire burning and dingoes howling in the distance it’s the closest thing to heaven I can imagine.

   KG I was in Aussie this year and met up with son in law Nigel Williamson, the well known animal rescue guy ,whom you may have heard of. A more practical guy does not exist. He taught me more about the outback in a week than anyone else could have done in months. Good bloke that.

     That’s pretty cool, Mara.
     Too many Kiwis I talk to tell me they “know all about Australia” after a visit to Melbourne or the Gold Coast to do some shopping..
