# Saldanha

Saldanha, also known as Saldanha Bay, is a town of 28,000 people (2011), on the northern shore of Saldanha Bay, on West Coast of the Western Cape province. Saldanha Bay's location makes it a paradise for the watersport enthusiast.

## Understand

The town has a naturally sheltered harbour, which led to the development of a port for exporting iron ore from Sishen in the Northern Cape. The ore is brought to the town from the mine on the Sishen–Saldanha railway line. The port is one of the largest exporting ports of ore in Africa.
Its local economy is strongly dependent on fishing, mussels, seafood processing, the steel industry and the harbour.
Saldanha Bay is named after António de Saldanha, captain of a vessel in the fleet of Portuguese admiral Alfonso de Albuquerque, which visited South Africa in 1503.

# Salem (Indiana)

Salem is a small city in Southern Indiana and the county seat of Washington County.

## Understand

Salem was founded in 1814. It seems to have garnered a lot of unwanted attention over the years. For instance, it was the scene of a raid by a brazen sort of mercenary-like Confederate general named John Morgan who ransacked and pillaged the town in 1863 with the help of his men, plus the locale of an unsuccessful attempt at domestic terrorism with dynamite sticks in 1988. It was also a sundown town and maybe doesn't always put its best foot forward with civic virtue and pride. However, it does have an attractive-looking courthouse.

## Get in

Salem does not lie on any interstate or federal highways. Access from the north and south is via IN 135 and IN 56 if travelling from the east or west.

# Pordenone

# Porcupine Gorge National Park

Porcupine Gorge National Park is a Queensland national park in the Outback of Queensland.

## Understand
### Landscape

The park is 25 kilometres long and just a few kilometres wide, follows the course of Porcupine Creek and includes open woodland and grassland on both sides. The river has carved an impressive gorge averaging 120 metres deep through sedimentary rock hundreds of millions of years old. In the broad parts of the canyon, erosion has formed a pyramid over time, a solitary monolith of multicoloured layers of sandstone . This formation was only made possible by the fact that a thin but hard basalt layer formed over the sandstone five million years ago as a result of a lava flow formed, protecting the underlying soft rock. In places where this top layer had been removed, Porcupine Creek was able to dig deep into the sandstone. The deeper Permian sedimentary strata intersected in the canyon belong to the Galilee Basin and contain the coal beds of the Betts Creek Beds. The seams are explored outside of the park to see if they are worth building.

### Flora and fauna

In the wet season, Porcupine Creek is a raging creek, in the dry season a thin rivulet with numerous waterholes that attract a variety of animals, including endangered species such as the pygmy quoll and the letter pigeon. In total, the park is home to 80 species of birds, 30 species of reptiles and 30 species of mammals. Larger species include mountain kangaroos, red kangaroos, and red kangaroos. A dingo population is deliberately maintained to manage the pest numbers and to regulate kangaroo populations.

# Shirakami-Sanchi

Shirakami-Sanchi (白神山地) is a World Heritage Site mountain area in the northern Tohoku region of Japan, straddling the prefectures of Akita and Aomori.

## Understand

Shirakami-Sanchi is one of Japan's, and Asia's, few remaining beech (ブナ buna) forests.
Tucked away in a remote, mountainous corner of the cold north, Shirakami-Sanchi is snowed in and all but inaccessible between November and May.

### Tourist information site

The World Heritage Visitor Center has a multilingual guide site.

## Get in

Konan Bus$^{[deadlink]}$ (弘南バス) runs 3-4 buses per day from spring to early autumn from Hirosaki railway station to Aqua Green Village (アクアグリーンビレッジ) near the rather impressive Anmon-no-taki waterfall in the unrestricted zone. The bus information desk, to the left of the bus stops in front of the railway station, has a pamphlet in English with bus schedules, rudimentary maps, etc. There may be a discount on return tickets available, but only if you buy ticket's beforehand, at the bus information desk. One-way is ¥1600, return tickets are ¥2400 (summer 2011).

## Fees and permits

Access to protected buffer zone, around the World Heritage site, requires a permit from the Aomori office of the Tohoku Regional Forest Office (tel. 017-781-2117, ), and the bureaucracy pretty much requires that you can handle Japanese or get someone to do it for you. However, the park's most popular attractions, including the Anmon-no-Taki Falls, do not require permits. And there is also a good trail along the border to the restricted zone

## Get around

For a day trip there are mainly two options:
* One is staying on the earliest bus to the Aqua Green Village and continuing onwards to the Tsugaru mountain pass stop, from where there is a 2-5 hour lovely trek over a mountain ridge and back to the Aqua Green Village, but be forewarned, this hike has some very steep and challenging parts, where you, very untypically of Japan, are almost hanging onto dear life on a rope suspended along a steep part of the mountain ridge for a good 45 minutes of the hike. If you plan doing this, remember to bring enough liquids, sundries, good shoes and preferably a phone, as it's only a few hikers doing this trek every day.
* Or you can do a light trek on the trail to the Anmon-no-taki waterfalls from the Aqua Green Village, it's a good 45-60 minute walk if you are in decent shape, and this is where the hordes of tourist and tour bus are descending.

## See
