So different to the rest of the world in geology, botany, fauna.

I've never seen the southern sky and would like to do some star gazing.<BR/><BR/>You're story reminds me a bit of the time I lived in Branson, Missouri. They've got fishing, shopping, hiking, tourists and all that, just no ocean. Pity. Too bad, I was too busy working, but I had to pay those bills somehow. Well, where I'm at now, is just as spectacular, but without the crowd.Robert Madewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237253238274655114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657406150025287334.post-8105224113794968332009-01-20T11:54:00.000-08:002009-01-20T11:54:00.000-08:00G'day Dave,Indeed.
