Is the Alice still 1000 miles from anywhere? Was there in the early '60s for a couple of years.
Everything here is "1000 miles from anywhere" :-) which is why this American-created petrol price hike is causing a bit of problem here (or at least will be causing a severe problem very shortly when people really wake up to the price increase). Having said this, things have changed somewhat since the 60's and all cities have seemingly got a bit closer because we now drive cars and even have trains and aeroplanes. Most of the main roads have also been tarred. You wouldn't recognise (note the '-ise') the place now. Cheers. -- I was very heavily into pornography. Then my pornograph broke.
