The effect of climate change on Australia’s water resources.
At around 30 metres (100 feet) below the high water mark, long dead and submerged trees in the bed of the Hume Weir present a stark image of the effects of the combination of the regular cycle of […]

Willaroo Lagoon as seen by John McDouall Stuart.
On his 1858 trip of exploration, John McDouall Stuart covered 2400km over four months. Three men on horse back.

Slathered in butter and Grandma’s home made raspberry jam, it fills the typical gap created by the fun and activity of camping in the bush at Aragunnu Beach.
With assistance from his big sister […]
