Wollengambe Crater redux

The trip started with a two and a half hour train ride out to Bell station. Making sure to remind the driver to stop because so few people get off they usually don't.

The trip involves a four hour bash through some scrub and a lot of spectacular scenery.

With lots of rocky outcrops to scramble up.

The crater itself is quite old but can still be distinguished from the surrounding countryside.
Although I forgot to take any photos of it.

The highlight of the crater would have to be wollengambe river which is by far the nicest in the blue mountains that I have encountered.

There are two camp sites; one in the crater and the other by the river.

Bad spam

Received this gem on my university account.  Not only is the spelling atrocious I don't actually remember the Lewinsky scandal helping him politically in fact it nearly got him impeached.


Everybody knows the great sexual scandal known as "Klinton-Levinsky".
After the relations like this Klintons popularity raised a lot!
It is a natural phenomenon, because Bill as a real man in order not to
shame himself when he was with Monica regularly used Voagra.
What happened you see. His political figure became more bright and more attractive.
It is very important for a man to be respected as a man!

See our Voagra shop to enter upon the new phase of your life.

Brokeback Mountain

A rather sad but beautifully told love story. Altogether another splendid example of Annie Proulx's fine writing I also recomend reading the shipping news which is another sad love story by her.
