Dave there are several good reviews of the film "Fallout" on

I am hoping we will get to see it in Bethlehem PA on Saturday week (14th)
Yes we visited THE Rock during our holiday of a lifetime in April 2007 and fought of the flies trying go get into our elaborate head coverings, we then had a most interesting and active week in The Alice seeing the Todd River dry bed from our hotel room window, the Flying Doctor Service, the Old Telegraph Station, The School of the Air and getting up early for the annual ANZAC Day Parade and Service all whilst attending the biannual Nevil Shute conference during which our President Dan and the local mayor unveiled the Nevil Shute Memorial Garden at the Library
Mende get yourself out there one day it's a splendid tourist venue
After that we flew to Melbourne where after dining with Mende Catmanron and the late Peter Treloar we strolled back along they Yarra river's Southbank to our hotel passing those strange fire belching towers
