		Living among the gum trees story posted on 04/04/2008 - about Australia's gumtrees are almost a cliche. I hear people recalling them often when describing the experience of being Australian.

		Broome and The Kimberley story posted on 26/03/2008 - about Broome is one the all time best places to visit. It is the most remote town in relation to any capital city in THE WORLD!

		Barramundi Nationals story posted on 16/05/2006 - about Catching barramundi is an incredible experiance that any fisherman would never forget.
