I visited Port Arthur, having a free day on a work trip, some weeks prior
to the killings. You could still hear the painful groans and cries of the
prisoners locked in those tiny cold hard sandstone cells. The place is
haunted, evil, evil, evil.
As for Bali.... indifference.
Based on the rantings and ravings of Aust politicians and media that would be
virtually, if not actually treason. So be it then; I choose treason.
