December 07, 2021 Gold! The Search For Lasseters Reef
Gold has been an enduring feature of Australia's story since the finds near Bathurst, NSW in 1851.

A fabled gold-rich quartz reef was said to have been found somewhere west of the MacDonnell Ranges, in Central Australia, by Harold Lasseter in 1897.

Since then, it has become a thing of legend. So is it real, where is it, what do we know?'

November 09, 2021 A Weekend Away on The Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island South Australia
On Adelaide's southern doorstep, the Fleurieu Peninsula offers a mellow Mediterranean ambiance. You'll find dozens of white sand beaches, undulating vineyards and farmland, pretty coastal towns near the entrance to Australia's longest river, and world renowned wetlands.

We also nip over to Kangaroo Island, Australia's third-largest island, after Tasmania and Melville Island. It lies in the state of South Australia, 112 km (70 mi) southwest of Adelaide.

There are plenty of opportunities to see kangaroos and local birdlife as well as dolphins, seals, pelicans, sea lions and whales. What a sensational place to visit.

October 26, 2021 The Nullarbor Plain and Seven Adventure Trips To Enjoy Around Australia
Feel the wide open space of Australia's vast outback beneath your wheels on one of the world's greatest adventure drives as you cross the vast, semi-arid Nullarbor Plain. The Nullarbor stretches across the southern edge of Australia between the goldfields of Western Australia and the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. You can connect to this journey from Adelaide or Perth and drive west to east or east to west along the Eyre Highway. While this is a sealed road, it goes through remote areas and the trip requires thorough preparation. You should carry extra petrol and plenty of water and food. You'll need a 4WD vehicle to venture off the highway.

October 19, 2021 80 Years On-Commemorating HMAS Sydney in WW2
Departing Victoria Quay, Fremantle on Armistice Day, 11 November 1941, HMAS Sydney (II) was tasked with escorting the troop ship Zealandia for some of its journey to Singapore.
When she had not returned by 23 November, the concerned Naval board signalled her. There was no reply.

November 2021 marks the 80th anniversary of the sinking of HMAS Sydney, the largest loss of Australian life in the Royal Australian Navy. We commemorate this by following the story of this mighty ship, and her discovery in 2008.

October 12, 2021 Visiting Victoria's Famous Hanging Rock -Was The Picnic Fact or Fiction?
We visit Hanging Rock in Victoria's Macedon Ranges, yes a real place and the basis for Joan Lindsay's acclaimed mystery novel Picnic at Hanging Rock it has everything an eerie crime story begs for - intrigue, horror and disappearances.
The historical Australian novel is one of the country's most famous pieces of literature. Yet is it real?
It follows the story of an all girl's school picnic to Victoria's Hanging Rock in 1900, where a group of female students subsequently disappear. The tale was brought to life in Peter Weir's classic Australian film in 1975.
Joan Lindsay: Whether Picnic at Hanging Rock is fact or fiction, my readers must decide for themselves. As the fateful picnic took place in the year nineteen hundred, and all the characters who appear in this book are long since dead, it hardly seems important.
