Very cool image. I love the sign pointing to the outback, Alice Springs and the landmarks. It's great. We have mesas like Uluru but maybe not as tall. It's so strange that Australia can be so far away and yet remind me of the desert a couple of hours away from my home. Song is interesting. I hadn't heard it before.

I think so too. Although I think some lands or maybe a whole continent sank inbetween. I think those sinking lands is why some countries around the world have a myth of a giant flood that wiped out the world. It's interesting to me how myth and land can be so far away and yet, like you said, have commonalities.

I think all the continents were a whole sometimes in the past and then they drift apart as individual. That's why deserts and mountains and other things look similar even though they are not in same atmosphere, tropicals... Maybe

I agree. I like the questions and mysteries. Sometimes it's cooler when we don't have all the scientific answers.

Great image. Know of the band but never listened to much of their music. Great song

Yes, there are so many things that questions...
