Wenn Trump bluehende Landschaften in Gaza verspricht wie Kohl damals in der DDR, ist das kein Scherz: Es ist schlicht der Gedanke eines Real Estate Moguls aus dem Trump Tower in NYCity. Why not, fragt sich augenwischend der Deutsche Michel (Taugenichts)? Habe ich hier was verschlafen? Nichts ist unmoeglich, sagte uns eins Obama, just follow the AD. Was Trump mit Musk offenbar verstanden hat, oder irre ich mich da? Kein Stein auf dem anderen ist Gaza! Wer soll da jetzt wohnen, ohne das Drama noch einmal zu wiederholen?

Dubbo

A town not too close to home that we have now visited the first time in our life, though camping in Australia since 1998.Why (not)? Dubbo is a small country town in the West of New South Wales, Australia. Some people know this town only by passing between Melbourne or Adelaide visiting their families at Christmas during the longer Xmas vacations: A typical Stop Over Country Town. Why (not) live in Dubbo? We were interested to find about the past and visited the Old Dubbo Goal (jail), where about 150 executions are nicely documented between 1865 and 1930. Interesting, indeed … The colonial past of Australia. Another highlight is the unique open plan Zoo in Dubbo. And last not least the Flying Doctors Service life and in Action on large screen. Now you know, why a stop over on the roads to Melbourne or Brisbane is a great idea. Where to stay? There are huts on the camp sites there, we used the G‘Day Parks.

Walkabout

New South Wales in Australia. Coffs Coast | Credit phb A Lifetime of Camping Adventures: From Holstein to the World At 75 years young, my passion for camping has remained a steadfast companion throughout my life. It all began when I was 9 years old, embarking on simple camping trips from Holstein in North Germany with my family. Our trusty VW Beetle and a small tent designed for five people were all we needed to create lasting memories under the open sky at the Baltic Sea near Flensburg. The Early Days in Germany Holstein, with its serene landscapes and rolling hills, was the perfect backdrop for my introduction to the outdoors. Our family camping trips were a blend of simplicity and adventure. We explored lush forests by hiking, serene lakes, and charming small villages and farmland, each trip etching itself into my memory. The smell of pine and oak trees and the sound of crackling campfires became synonymous with happiness and freedom. Expanding Horizons in Europe As I grew older, my camping journeys expanded beyond Germany, taking me across Europe. From the majestic Alps in Switzerland to the picturesque fjords of Norway, each destination offered a unique experience. I learned to appreciate the diversity of nature, from the sun-kissed beaches of Spain to the rugged coastlines of Britain, where I stayed a full calender year. My adventures in Europe were marked…

Gondwana

Gondwana: Australia's Ancient Past and Its Impact on QLD and NSW today Introduction Gondwana, the ancient supercontinent, holds a significant place in the geological history of Australia. Formed around 600 million years ago, Gondwana comprised present-day South America, Africa, Antarctica, India, and Australia. The breakup of this supercontinent around 180 million years ago played a crucial role in shaping the landscapes and biodiversity of Queensland (QLD) and New South Wales (NSW). Credit phb Gondwana's Legacy in Queensland Queensland's rich geological history can be traced back to its Gondwanan roots. The lush rainforests of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area are remnants of ancient Gondwanan forests. This region, known for its incredible biodiversity, boasts ancient plant species that have survived since the time of Gondwana. The geological formations in the Glass House Mountains and Great Dividing Range also reflect the tectonic activities and volcanic events that occurred during Gondwana's breakup. New South Wales' Gondwanan Heritage Waterfalls | Credit phb New South Wales is home to the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia, a UNESCO World Heritage site that includes rainforests across the state.
