No, not for porn, and I'm not an Ebay bitch either, but I just like learning stuff.

We are going back up the Riverland again for a few days, and at one of the locations we frequent, which is run by the National Parks, I have since found it was an internment camp for Italian & Japanese prisoners.

I guess if you are a local, you would of known, but nowhere, have I ever been able to find out about this, except on the net.

Prison Camps

There is so much that has happened in Australia, and a lot of us are unaware. I'm not just talking about Ned Kelly, and Burke & Wills, but much more recent stuff, which has gone un-noticed.

I was unaware, 'till I spoke with Willem, that up at Teworie, in the Mid North, the old railway station is where General Mac Arthur (sp) said..."I shall return.."

Lots of history.....

Okay, it's a slow night, so..... who else has got a story on a place that has a claim to fame, that we may not know about.....?
