Over four thousand kilometres away from me.
Very sad but I'm glad the two kids are OK.

Dreamworld should remain closed until they get an Engineers Certificate for every bit of machinery in the place.  Only right it is still closed.

RIP those who perished, a tragedy.

Took my kids there a couple of times way back, fun place usually.
