One of the main places to see Black Footed Rock Wallabies, although it wasn't where we saw them. It's a truly spectacular geographical landmark and definitely worth a visit. Try to get there right on dawn for a good chance to see Rock Wallabies, and then it just gets lighter and lighter as the sun comes up for photos.
Believe it or not, there was a REAL jet painted exactly like this model! What a shame that they eventually painted over it.
I visited the Simpson's movie site and they had a avatar creator! I don't think it looks like me at all, but maybe I will have more time to goof with it later on from home.
trust me - it looks just like the one in the Simpsons' kitchen. i made it of plywood and a clock motor with modified brass hands.
A photo (even a large panorama like this) cannot begin to capture how breathtaking this view from Sunshine Meadows is in person.
Simpsons Gap is part of the West MacDonnell National Park. A small canyon opening in the range carved by water. West of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia.
These two buildings at the center of this picture are part of the old Simpson County Jail complex. The line of buildings on the right is the backside of the structures on the north side of the town square. The aluminum building at the left is a NAPA Auto Parts store. There's a very detailed history of the jail complex that you can read here on the internet, so I'll just give the high points.
The structure on the left of the complex is the Old Jailer's Residence, possibly converted from a private home in the wake of an 1835 state law requiring jailers to live within 200 yards of the jail. Records are spotty thanks to that 1882 courthouse fire, but it's thought the core of the building dates to right around 1835. The structure underwent a number of additions and alterations over the next few decades, so that different parts of it date to at least four different years.
The structure on the right is the Old Jail, built in 1889 at a moment when Simpson County felt like spending a lot of money of civic buildings. This is probably the fourth Simpson County Jail, though Simpson County seems not to be sure. (The Jailer's Residence likely also housed the jail between 1860 and 1880.) It was designed by the Louisville architecture firm of the H.P. McDonald Brothers, who had also designed the courthouse a few years earlier. The brothers were on their way to becoming real mucky-mucks in civic building design, and the Simpson County history website says they went on to design the Kansas Statehouse, though I can find no mention of them in the Kansas historical web presence. I'm only an internet-level historian, though, so I'm not going to try to confirm this one way or another.
According to the SImpson County post, the jail was purposefully designed to look like a medieval dungeon, because the style "combines psychological deterrence to crime and provides an escape-proof enclosure for prisoners." It also would have serveed as an imposing and moderately disturbing little cube right next to the center of town, and you have to wonder how visitors would have taken that look. But then, that's exactly the kind of impression rural Kentuckians have always wanted to leave, so it works out.
