As a result of this, these countries take extremely good care of whatever little they have and a good example is what you have shared with us here. I also remember visiting an old goldmine in Australia that has now been made into a museum and a tourist spot. On the other hand we have countries like Indian that have a very rich history and countless monuments and historical places and what do we do with them? We go out there to etch "Bunty Loves Bubbly", we encroach those places, we destroy those places. There are so many places like that in Bombay itself that have been destroyed and a very good example of that is the Mahakali caves that are near my home. That place has become a loo and a hangout places for junkies. What a shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22799533.post-58825700784955861942007-05-29T22:54:00.000-04:002007-05-29T22:54:00.000-04:00Fascinating facts about a place I need to visit so...Fascinating facts about a place I need to visit sometime.<BR/>The water is so vividly blue.
