Image Of the Week

                                                                                                Apocalypse Now

            Once upon a time this was someone's pride and joy, fresh from the showroom and lovingly
            looked after. I can just image my Grandma sitting in the back giving my dad earache over the state
            of the roads and reminding him to be careful with the new paintwork.
            Family holidays, a trip into town, maybe bringing home a new born Sister or Brother?            
            Now here it lays long forgotten, a hulk of rust in a ghost town full of failed dreams.
            All that hard work, spit and polish sand blasted away over the years by countless outback
            dust storms. Left behind by its once proud owners to rot in the sun as they depart to that
            great car showroom in the sky.
            St. Peter at the gates... "I'm sorry you can't park that here sir!"          

            Farina, a ghost town in far north South Australia.
