Description: Shows a pointy-headed man wearing a cross around his neck and carrying a suitcase from which dangles a piece of rope and a suitcase in the shape of his pointy head which bears a label reading 'Sweethome Alabama'. He stands against a background of red Australian desert. The man declares that he likes Australia because it's a confederacy. The man is a member of the Ku Klux Klan, indicated by the rope in his case and the pointy hat. In fact he is the leader of the Ku Klux Klan who tried to visit Australia in 1997 but who was denied a visa. He likens Australia to the confederacy of 11 southern states that seceded from the United States. Probably carries the idea that Australia's treatment of the aborigines is rather like the way the American southern states have treated and still treat blacks.

As he comes within sight of the peak he is warned by a figure sitting there and dressed in Ku Klux Klan garb that he 'still ain't been to the mountain top yet'.
