West Australia April 2004 - Visual Impressions

 

Before you enter the country be aware and never forget.....

 

Law and Culture never change. You can do what you like in this land,

but whatever you do, this land never change.

They think you can do anything with it…but in the end maybe this land might turn on us.

One day he got to turn on us.
