DIMBOOLA- THE LITTLE DESERT NP- HORSESHOE BEND Been having an emotional, grumpy few days and am not feeling very creative. So rather than pretend, I decided to be honest and say I really don't want to write anything about these places- other than its been a great place to yell and scream and throw sticks and eventually cry- a lot.
