The Temple of doom has been a target in my sights for along time. It started with a picture I found on the internet of a very distinct Girafa roller – I had to find it. I eventually found a … Continue reading →

We discovered this stretch of tracks as we were following a lead to a classic Girafa Neck-bone piece.
