A whole series of stunning shots of Katanning by NF#1 – enough for several posts. Not often I envy the shots of contibutors, because, well I am a lot better photographer than most people and twop contributors are generally worse than the average – but some of these are beautiful. Even more amazing, because NF#1 recently submitted some shots that were so out of focus, the subject was barely discernible. True story!
Now perhaps Katanning needs to be explained to International readers. It was until recently a fairly shitty little wheatbelt farm, but has been rocked by horrifying tales of child abuse from the 1970s and 80s. Manhattes Barkeep imagine a one horse Penn State. South Australians imagine Snowtown sans barrels.

Kattaning – which brings us to the Olympic opening ceremony. Just saw some lamearse torchlight ceremony in Hyde Park. Where was the backdrop of the Stones in 1968 with Mick in his big girly blouse and Keef shooting up on stage in mourning – ha! over Brian‘s death.
