| Not the Birdsville Races: Tourists and beer flood outback town Posted: 05 Sep 2011 01:36 AM PDT  The dust has settled on the Birdsville racetrack. 6,000 outback adventurers are departing the annual race day weekend that had descended on the fabled town of only 120 people. The $30,000 Birdsville Gold Cup has been run and won, and 130 thoroughbreds are making their way back to their home stables. Most of the 80,000 beer cans, imported especially for the event, have been drunk. The 'Not the Birdsville Races' event, where patrons race wooden horses, drawn by reel and string, down the main road has been won. And for the record, the Birdsville Gold Cup was taken out by the Mount Isa, Jay Morris-trained six year-old gelding, Just a Touch.      |

1. Amarnath Cave 徒步路線： 印度 喀什米爾這朝聖之旅每年夏天 — 視乎當地政治局勢 — 於喀什米爾的高山上進行。 數千名虔誠信徒徒步到 Amarnath Cave 膜拜 Shiva-lingam﹣﹣印度教神 Shiva 的標誌（石筍做男性生殖器官外型）。 傳說中，Shiva 到此處與雪山神女 Parvati 共享永生。 這條徒步路線甚有難度﹣﹣絕大部份路段是位處海拔 4000 米的陡斜上山路。 旅程雖然艱辛，可是一路上所體會到同伴間的友愛與忠誠，便是心靈的甘露。 價目： 以自訂路線而定 Indus Discoveries; +91 11 4166 4082; www.indusdiscoveries.com （註： 前往喀什米爾前宜先查閱旅遊忠告）    |
