Journal of an OLPC Australia Deployment in Warralong

Western Australia gives a first impression of a land dominated by miners. Fluro and silver strips appear on clothing everywhere it seems as the south (settled in the 1800′s by white traders and farmers) becomes the hub for a younger north west that is facilitating extraction of the millenia old gas & mineral fruits of the deep earth & ocean.
