Solomon Islands are one of Australia's closest neighbours, and they've been in the news lately because of a security pact they've signed with China. We'll learn about why that's a big deal... but also about how kids in Solomon Islands get to school; how to speak some pijin; and who the Bilikiki Boys are. 

Each week, we give the world globe a spin, and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people.
