Add Shower To Pedestal Tub

Australia (Part 1) Indonesia

In Australia, as I said, get there with 4 days of delay spellings fiscalissima to immigration ...
remain for some days in Darwin especially 'cause I break the mumps, stuff you would not believe, around with a big face of fear and make for quite a while' I can not move ... Valentine
the days pass and a little 'dull, but then finally I get back on track and I decide to travel on the Ghan, the legendary train that tried to build for decades without ever succeeding, they finished the last leg in 2004 from Alice Springs to Darwin ... a train crossing the desert regions of North and that brings me up to Katherine, Alice Springs, Adelaide and Coober Peedy ... Kathrin
and 'small town' in the desert as Alice Springs owes its development to the mere fact of being the remote outpost for + the telegraph line ... Coober Peedy instead strikes me and I love it, small city 'dig for opals and' built for two-thirds below ground in old mines ... a complicated mining complex that stretches for miles beneath the surface .... I know this incredible characters and stories that seem an eternal treasure hunt ... Instead I see
Adelaide escape before taking the train to Sydney
(so I go back in a bit')...

Sydney I like, very quiet with the port area as the main attraction, with its opera house, and the thousands of free museums and art exhibitions ... short around here and there for a good week and then take my flight to Auckland ...

And now I leave you to the photos speak better than me :-)















The legendary "Phaedrus" in Darwin, thanks for all the steps and laughter!















The "French" one of the characters really "characters"















Performance during the exhibition Darwin















The legendary Ghan ...















Interior of Ghana "lounge room"















out the window and scroll through the territories of northern Australia ...















Alice Springs has much to offer ...















And as usual I am enchanted by the desert















Coober Pedy. .. Surface
















Coober Pedy and 'was used as a set for a lot of science fiction films where tha Mission to Mars, Mad Max and others, and that' a the remains of a spaceship ...















One of the wonderful sunsets you can enjoy in the desert ...
(in the detail "of an old mine entrance)





















Paul, a miners' old school who decides to tell his story posing proudly with his latest find, a stone of 10 kg which is about one million dollars ...






























And with Paul I can see the actual working pit of a + 50 km from the city 'in the middle of the desert ...





























and miners go down with 10 meters below ground to see how these modern treasure hunters working ...















analyze the soil to decide where to dig ...















and sometimes is the "material" as they called opals here ...





















And here's another finding that shows paul by 150,000, a single large opal ...















Also, thanks to Paul visited the old mines that run for miles and miles under the city ', it lacks the air below 50 - 60 meters depth ', it's hot and there' s a strange smell of stale ...





















Another amazing sunsets ...















Here you try to guess where!
