    I think you'll find its the yanks that won that medal, sure if you go to Bali and other young yobbo aussie hangs outs you will find the bogan feral crowd.

    Re Pilbara "nothingness" promotion

    I think the Pilbara Indigenous have long held "nothing" to be an integral part of the lanscape. I recall at a remote community in discussions with residents about where they would want their new houses erected.
    I was looking at sites perhaps near trees or such.
    One Elder said she wanted her house placed in a spot that looked out over a vast expanse of spinifex and little else.
    Our immediate response was that there "was nothing there"
    (Like, why would you want to look at that?)
    Her response was an enthusiat "yes, plenty of nothing".
    There are perhaps few places where you can view a vast spread of horizon, uninterrupted by lots of "nothing"....so maybe we can sell that experience in the "nothingness" promotion.

    One of the reasons I like the desert is the 'nothingness', it's such a change from having too much on the coast.
