From Simon H, our roving reporter;

ABC News - Rock, what Rock?

Rock, what rock? Drunk driver misses Uluru

A drink-driver has stopped police in central Australia to ask for directions to Uluru, just 100 metres from the world's greatest monolith.

Police say the 44-year-old New South Wales man was driving a four-wheel drive when he waved them down near an intersection close to Uluru.

Police say the man's headlights were shining on the rock itself.

Police say although the incident took place in the dark, Uluru is 340 metres high and it is a 10 kilometre drive around its base.

It casts an imposing shadow over the flat landscape around it.

Police say they became suspicious when the man asked for directions to the rock and breath-tested him.

The man allegedly returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.116.

He has been charged with drink-driving and driving while unlicensed.

Sorry for long subject, hope it looks ok.

What do you think of my slightly changed look of my blog?

Does everyone see orange in the border? I don't, or I do but it disappears.

Hmmm.

How about it? It is something for the future, and something we can be proud of!

I saw two of them in an airport in Singapore and just wanted to hug the owners. When they are filled with duty free grog, there is no better way of saying "I'm an Aussie"

Do they have these overseas John?

p.s John, welcome back.

SMS on other devices

sms from pay phone

I want SMS on my home phone. Then you can sms and say - I'll be home in 5.

What else do you want SMS on? In your car would be good?

Who cares about global warming?

it still works
Originally uploaded by chiaroscurosarus.

Right now I'm not feeling well and planning my life includes today and somethings about tomorrow, but that is pretty vague.

Global warming needs us to think collectively (hard) and long term (harder).

But I think it is worth trying.

Fight Global Warming

I did a calc of my carbon use and it says I'm 40 tonnes. It doesn't really say if this is per year, but I guess it is. I don't really know what it means, but I guess it's a lot.

I think they have to be more specific about what will happen to me. Yes, it will suck for my children, but they'll be smarter and probably will work something out or live on Mars. Yes, we might have floods, haven't we always had floods? Yes, the polar ice caps might melt, don't they do that every 10,000 years or so, and they are so far away from me?

Don't get me wrong. I'm converted. I think we are killing out planet, but if you want the other 99.99% to listen, then you have to do better.

Anyway, go to the site, watch the ads and see what you think.

My Book About Africa

OK, after a nearly a year of waiting, I've decided to stop trying to polish off my book and just publish it.

So here it is;

An Australian Volunteer in Africa

It's done in chapters, so you don't have to read it at once.

If you see any errors, then just send me an email or leave a comment.

Cheers.
