Jens Trip to Alice Springs Such a long trip for 2 days, but she had a ball absolutely loved it.
Rising from the broad desert plain in the deep centre of Australia, Uluru/Ayers Rock is Australia's most recognisable natural icon. The famous sandstone monolith stands 348 metres high and, like an iceberg, has most of its bulk below the surface. It is located 440 kilometres south-west of Alice Springs in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. 40 kilometres to the west of Uluru/Ayers Rock is Kata Tjuta, also known as The Olgas. This massive pile of rock domes dates back 500 million years.
Both Uluru and Kata Tjuta have great cultural significance for the Anangu traditional landowners, who lead walking tours that inform about the local flora and fauna, bush foods and the Aboriginal Dreamtime stories of the area.
Watarrka National Park, encompassing Kings Canyon, lies 300 kilometres to the north-east of Uluru and 310 kilometres west of Alice Springs. Kings Canyon has 300-metre-high sandstone walls, walking trails, palm-filled crevices and views across the desert.

Wow Very Nice
Jorn Olsen works for the Dutton-Lainson Co. in Hastings, Nebraska, and lives by Heartwell Park next to Hastings College. The other night he took these photos. The stadium lights are at the Hastings College stadium just east of his home.The clouds are called Mammatus clouds.
They do not precede a tornado, or foretell a storm, but are formed when the air is already saturated with rain droplets and/or ice crystals and begins to sink. The worst of the storm is usually over when these kinds of clouds are seen. They are quite rare and really beautiful.

Jen went Clubing tonight and met the man of her dreams, so she says, he is just perfect, and what do you reckon he is an American studying here for 6 month.

She laughed uproarously, and said hell no, I have already asked.
Well okay then you not grounded, says I. After all I have to look after my kids, while I have them here, dont I.

Faithful: Labrador waits patiently for master
Harley's vigil for his master
From: May 05, 2006
AMID the devastation at the Beaconsfield gold mine is the curious tale of Harley the labrador.According to locals he has been keeping a vigil for his missing master Todd Russell.The loyal dog has been seen at the mine gates every day since Anzac Day when Mr Russell left for work and did not return.
Journalists and cameramen have shooed Harley away believing him to be a stray. But locals have been touched by his habit of turning up at the mine.
Mr Russell, buried under hundreds of tonnes of rock a kilometre below the surface, lives with his wife Caroline, three children and Harley just 200m from the gold mine.
When The Daily Telegraph visited Harley at home yesterday, he was being kept inside.
"Apparently the lab has been hanging around the gates since it happened, but the family has decided to keep him out of the way from now on," a local said.
Harley's story was first raised by Australian Workers Union boss Bill Shorten, who described it as a heartwarming tale amid the emotional highs and lows outside the Beaconsfield gold mine.
