One of the more mysterious of road signs. What does it signify? "Danger low flying motorbikes" is one suggestion.
Sudden downpours drive me to take a taxi from the place where Heidi is recovering from her operation. The driver has a gold ring in his left ear. Before long he tells me that he comes from Kalgoorlie in West Australia. He was a gold miner. To be precise he used to drive a dump truck in a gold mine. He loved the work and misses it. He has been living in England for four years, and is not a little homesick. What keeps you here? I ask. "My wife isn't quite ready for the move," he says. "What do you miss most?" "The thick layer of red dust you find on your car in the morning," he says.
