I bet they have freeway overpasses, those have to be as big as your east coast hills. :D

Dug, I can appreciate the peace & quiet, but that just looks way to dry and desolate...(plus, being Australia, therre's probably a bazillion deadly critters hiding out there, just waiting for my fat Yank ass to walk by) :p

About the same. Actually the seas have calmed down some. Of course the sky always changes. Text

Do you work for NCL? What do you do (and can you get me some discounts :p)?

Yes in entertainment. You would have to be on the ship to get a discount. ;)

Reminds me of Texas/New Mexico. No thanks. Nothing to do there and too far from everyone/everything else.

That big rock I showed you was also used as water catchment back in the day:
