The Kimberley region is special: extraordinary landscapes, rich culture, brilliant coastline. WA Labor gov mustn’t allow horrendous fracking, or massive gas developments to disfigure and ruin this part of Oz. Australia's Great North Conference Declaration: www.ecnt.org.au/australias_great_north

The idea of a straight-line highway going to a vanishing point is compelling. ~ Steven #Spielberg tinyurl.com/4kehkzf9 #RoadTrip #Movies #VanishingPoint #Doors
