So, that's why you claimed mutual ignorance? Funny kind of "mutual"
you have: one side doesn't have a clue, so both sides are ignorant.
Right...

I'm starting to think you are not only a troll but also in need of a
good serving of good manners...

Thanks mate. I stick to text only groups. I find Ice In Space,
Cloudy Nights, and even Photography On The Net forums sufficient
to supplement my ever-decreasing USENET time.

I think you owe me an apology. If not that, you should at least cool
down.

Just to make the troll's day, here are two photographs of Oodnadata

As you can see, it is at the crest of a local mountain.

Hehehe! Been there, done that.
Back in the 80s. Also in the same trip: Pedirka, Dalhousie, Purni Bore,
Finke River, Hamilton, MtConnor, Uluru, Katatjuta, Peterman ranges, Docker
River. And a heap of other places on the way in and out. Got a few scanned in
my gallery. There are a lot more.
I miss the days when we could take a long travel holiday in this country...
