Maybe interesting?

[KiwiCol]

I saw this yesterday & thought or our northern members,


New Zealand sometimes is thought of as a small country, so it's interesting to see overlaid on a map of Europe. This shows its length from the north of the North Island to Stewart Is comparable to the distance from north of Copenhagen to southern France & maybe a bit below!

Well it would be wouldn't it, we're on the underside of the world.

Kiwifruit lives half way between Berlin & Hamburg & I'm just left of Switzerland & up a bit - just behind the sticky out bit.

I used to live half way between Berlin & Hamburg for some years myself & coincidently, both of my 14's came from there too. Flew up & rode back x 2.  Few years apart though.

No, Great Southern Land, that's been burned black . . .

Great Southern Land
Icehouse







Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
City on a rainy day down in the harbour
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you its a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years

Great Southern Land, burned you black

So you look into the land and it will tell you a story
Story 'bout a journey ended long ago
Listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains
Maybe you can hear them talking like I do
". . they're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you
Are you gonna let them take you over that way . ."

Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
You walk alone, like a primitive man
And they...







I hear the sound of the stranger's voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
They burned you black, black against the ground

Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
City on a rainy day down in the harbour
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you its a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years

Great Southern Land, in the sleeping sun
You walk alone with the ghost of time
They burned you black, black against the ground
And they make it work with rocks and sand

I hear the sound of the stanger's voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
You walk alone, like a primitive man
You walk alone with the ghost of time
And they burned you black
Yeah, they burned you black
Great Southern Land
