So tomorrow morning our television crew of four leave for another three hour journey to Middleburg in the Great Karoo (I affectionately refer to it as 'Middle-of-nowhere-burg' ) to continue filming our 24 minute documentary. Focusing on the social problems that have surfaced in a town on the truck route, we are slowly building up all the footage and interviews we need to produce a piece that will make an impact. I cant disclose too much information on our work just yet, but the next three days will be crucial to the development of our doc. So we leave the student world of lecturers and documentary write ups and enter the world of real journalsim and of harsh realities, it will hopefully be a rejuvinating experience.

"When travellers of the world hit the road, only a discerning few find their way to the Great Karoo, here where nature dazzles on those endless plains & blue mountains, here where the wild winds fade to a silence so pure that you can hear God think....
so to every crag & dolerite valley of the Karoo's ancient landscape where man has his origins & ancient mammals roamed thousands of years ago......"
Hi,
I came across your blog randomly.
I'm a South African living in Perth, Australia.
Just considering moving to London for work (IT)
Also interesting blog, are you using Movable Type or something else? I need to work on my blog - it's not as good as yours :(
Will you return to South Africa?
