Wasn't me.

I got the list sent to me from a friend in Alice Springs.

Mustn't be anything else to do there than check out Interesting Facts.

Actually its quite true for the minor regular types of headaches. However if thier is a miagraine it doesn't help very much. actually worsens it. but its a great remdedy for the regular run of the mill type of headaches.

Actually, you should hear the gripes when they can't see Uluru from Alice Springs either!

It's a fair way from there even.

If you can afford it, there is a 5 star hotel at Uluru now. You can see the rock from there!

Every where is a long way from there in Aust.
But we knew that already.

Did you see today where a pedestrian was hit by a car?
Not unusual you would think.

Except that the car fell from the 2nd story of a high rise car park.
After being punted out of the building by a 4wd [Suv].
