Somehow a necessary excursion was managed without a nether regions attack by snake or frog! Definitely an outback threat though, as this was at the Flying Doctor Museum, 100 Km from Mt Isa.
These fascinating ruins are part of a fairytale castle completed in 1935 by Spanish immigrant Jose Paronella, a rags to riches Castillian baker whose life's obsession also included its own hydro electric power station. Devastated by numerous cyclones over the years, the ruins are set within a huge rainforest botanical garden and have heritage protection.
Temporary public artwork in yellow vinyl film by Felice Varini at High Street, Fremantle. 'Freo' has a cool, hip vibe and the heritage buildings are complemented by beautifully landscaped public spaces. Ardent West Australians claim it should secede, based on being Australia's biggest and most prosperous state and not getting a big enough slice of State funding.
Don isn’t a serious contender for the record on this 18-hole par 73 course spanning 1,365 Km, but after buying three clubs for $15 he’s giving the Nullarbor Links his best shot. Forget manicured greens and landscaped fairways, the biggest challenge is keeping the flies from inside your sunglasses.
