  • 24 August 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Lower 9th ward. Australian tourists and hurricane Katrina survivors Bud Hopes (33yrs - Brisbane) and Michelle Van Grinsven (22yrs- Sydney) return to the city almost a year after they were caught up in hurricane Katrina. Bud and Michelle were amongst the tourists evacuated to the Superdome during the storm. Bud emerged as the 'leader' of the tourist group of some 70 foreign tourists caught up in the hell that was the Superdome in the days after the storm last year. The two are shocked to discover the lack of action amidst the debris of the still ruined Lower 9th Ward.

The tourist saviour. Staff Sergeant Garland Ogden (rt) who saved tourists from 'Hell on earth.' with (mid) Anthony (Bud) Hopes and Spc Forest Vinson outside the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana where over 20,000 refugees from hurricane Katrina are crammed into hellish conditions. Bud Hopes, an Australian from Brisbane said, 'if it wasn't for Sgt Ogden's help we would never have made it out of the Superdome. It was hell in there. He has taken exceptional measures, above and beyond the call of duty, totally beyond the scope of his job, an exceptional man. He has the blessing of all the international tourists. it is incredible to think that so many of the armed forces here have lost their own homes and yet they are gathered here to help all these people. It is the most amazing thing I have seen ion all my life.'<br />
Bud Hopes has become the 'leader' of the band of some 50 or so trapped tourists, caught up in the hell that is Hurricane Katrina and her aftermath. Sgt Ogden said of Bud, 'if he was a soldier, he would have made an excellent general.' <br />
Bud Hopes' parents can be contacted in Australia. Contact Diane and Eric Hopes on 011 617 492 65646<br />

  • Feb 28th, 2006. New Orleans, Louisiana. Mardi Gras Day, Fat Tuesday, Bourbon Street. General street scenes of the packed and crowded insanity that befalls mainly tourists who come to party on Bourbon street where most locals refuse to go on Fat Tuesday. Scenes of debauchery, costumes, body paint and nakedness abound.

  • 13 May 2010. Grand Isle, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. <br />
Tourists enjoy the afternoon on the beach in the shadow of a drilling rig. Oil is now landing on the beaches of Jefferson and Lafourche parishes to the west of the Mississippi River outlet. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf. <br />
