Dreamworld, Gold Coast, Australia

Crickhowell, Wales
Until fairly recently I was not only ignorant of what an interesting little town Crickhowell was, but was barely even conscious of its existence, tucked away as it is in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Having now seen the place for myself, I can only unreservedly apologise to its …
