| Icehouse - Great Southern Land |
 |
When "Great Southern Land" was released as the
first single from the Primitive Man album in 1982,
a video for it was filmed in a disused sandstone
quarry in the Kuringai National Park near Sydney.
Then, in 1989, when the song met its first release
as a single in North America and Europe, a new
clip had to be made to accompany the overseas
single. This time, the background Australian
landscapes were provided by the Myall Lakes
National Park on the mid-north coast of New South
Wales. As befits the song, both clips were, of
course, typically Australian in content, but the
earlier one did feature a few Australian native
animals, including a large goanna crawling across
barren sandy earth. This latter typical Australian
had obviously won many fans, since, when the new
clip appeared there were quite a few appeals for
"the one with the goanna." The result was that
both "Great Southern Land" clips had to be
included in the commercial video released in 1989.

| Southern California Shanty Town / Tent City |
 |
Here are some videos of a tent city / shanty town
that has popped up in the suburbs of Southern
California. I've never seen anything like this in
America since the great depression. At first it
seems as though many of the residents had lost
their houses due to the mortgage crisis, and I am
sure some had, but it seems rather that most here
have just fell on hard times due to the economy in
Souther California in general. The tent city has
been removed by the city and no longer exists to
my knowledge. We only went there a few times, as
our major work is in Los Angeles with the homeless
on Skid Row.
