This was our very comfortable room at the Okaukuego waterhole. One of the best things about it was the fact as you left the room the waterhole was literally right in front of you. We shared the room with two spiders, but after finding out they were harmless we didn't mind too much : )
Dongas are modular, transportable accommodation, often used in remote mining camps in Australia. I think they were originally converted, shipping containers
A revisit in March 2020 to this site. The site has now been cleared of trees and vegetation, returning it close to the state it would have been when operational. Due to the large amounts of asbestos, the buildings are being slowly dismantled, with the corrugated asbestos sheet being carefully removed from the roofs. The purpose of this visit was to capture the scale of the site, and record construction methods and materials as best as I could.
Locally known as the USAAF hospital, Ullenwood near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire was the site of the 110th General Hospital of the US Army Medical Corps in late 1944. Little other information is available.
A description of the camp exists - "The hospital buildings were of a uniform plan and setup and constructed of hollow tile, roofed with asbestos cement sheets. Adequate space was available for all wards, clinics, and laboratories. The quarters reserved for Officers, Nurses, and the Detachment were all of plaster board covered with tar paper and had asbestos cement roofs."
What remains today is a jumble of contemporary WW2 buildings, largely prefabricated concrete struts with asbestos roofs and clockwork walls that have been used for decades as household storage and small business units. The most interesting and medical related structure to remain is the covered corridor in the centre of the site that would have linked hospital wards.
Seydisfjordur, view from my room at the Youth Hostel at 1am, when I woke up to answer nature's call. I was surprised by the scene because when we arrived in the afternoon, it was foggy and there was no view.
Riad Marrakech.
Great location, friendly and welcoming staff who genuinely want you to have a great time in Marrackech. They went out of their way to make sure we were happy and having a great time. Location is great and its close to the main square. The rooms were great, very comfortable and spacious. The roof terrace was absolutly amazing, we spent most of our time there just realzing and enjoying the sun. We look fowards to seeing the place and the staff again next year.

A nuclear bunker at the heart of Tbilisi.
After the collapse of the USSR the place was stripped in the 1990s. For some time it was occupied by a number of homeless people and also by illegal drugs manufacturers. A number of barrels that contains desomorphine (or known as 'krokodil') can still be found in the bunker. The bunker was designed to accommodate up to a few thousand people.
Today the bunker lies abandoned under the busiest streets in Tbilisi, with parts of it still being used as a simple storage basement for the city's street cleaners.

“The Smelters Heritage Accommodation” c1874
In 1860 there was a depression, due to wide-spread drought and low wool prices.
South Australia was financially strapped. The discovery of huge mineral deposits saved the day – both major finds being indirectly due to a wombat hole revealing the copper, and both on the pastoral holding of Captain Walter Watson Hughes. Hughes immediately called upon Cornish miners from Burra to test the site. One miner hurled a pick around his head and, digging at the spot where the pick fell, made an accurate dig exposing the heart of the main ore body.
There were no copper mines in Wallaroo itself – copper was discovered at Kadina in 1859 and Moonta in 1861. The two related companies realised they controlled a very large resource. Therefore, in order to enable smelting of the copper from the two mines they planned a large central smelter near a port.
In 1861 the Wallaroo Mining Company started work on a smelter by the sea at the new town of Wallaroo. Wallaroo was connected to the two mines by train, forming the “Copper Triangle”. Hence, the beginnings of the Wallaroo and Moonta group of mines, Sixty three years of mining produced copper worth nearly 21 million pounds, giving steady employment to thousands of men, predominantly Cornish miners, engineers and managers. This formulated the area being known as “Australia’s Little Cornwall”.
Sir Thomas Elder and Robert Barr Smith became joint owners of the vast Copper Mines along with the Sir Walter Watson Hughes. As the banker, Elder began to accrue vast wealth. Hughes and Elder became philanthropists, offering bursaries to The Adelaide University, Elder Park, The Art Gallery, Adelaide and much more.
This grand building was purposely built as the Managers’ and Accountants’ Offices c1874 based on the design of Mr T Ward. The miners lined up here to receive their wages from the miners pay office – hence aptly named “Office Beach” which is directly in front of the building.
Wallaroo became one of the biggest and richest smelting sites in the world, with skilled miners coming from Swansea in Wales. The Welsh trademark square plan chimney “The Hughes Stack” – directly south east of this building – is the only remaining Welsh chimney in the southern hemisphere.
Between 1926 and 1940 the property was in private ownership.
Between 1940 and 2016 the property operated as the” Seafarers’ Mission-The British sailors Society in Hampshire, England”.
This building was vital as a safe haven in which to harbour and comfort sailors from all around the world. The seafaring sailing ships would dock at Wallaroo for up to weeks at a time whilst the ships were being stocked, hence the sailors required a landmark in which to rest and relax. Sailors were fed and entertained in this home and cared for beyond all measure by the house Caretaker – Mrs Mary Sawyer – for over 50 years.
The property has been privately owned locally and is now a State Heritage listed building.

Our name is our Hallmark “SWISS”
Recommended by lonely planet book and yahoo travels.
On the foot hills of shankracharya temple, and stones throw away distance from the world famous Dal-lake in one of Srinagar’s most sophisticated suburbs, is this pleasant moderately sized hotel - one of city's calmest places to lay your head. Its verdant front garden, home to chirping birds, is the perfect spot to catch your breath after a day out in draining...yet only 2KM from Tourist Reception Centre.
