Alice Springs, 2000.10.31

The tour of the outback was really something. We hiked around Uluru, climbed the King's Canyon, and took the trail into the Valley of the Winds. We stayed at permanent camp sites which were very well done, and toured in a tiny bus with a fellow who knew the countryside like the back of his hand. It was very good.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great people are almost always bad people.
