How\'s the weather? How's the weather? »
With fierce fires burning across central Australia, cattle producers Christopher and Margo Nott are nervously awaiting the official start of the northern wet season. It’s months overdue. Good rains last year that ended almost a decade of drought have proven a double-edged sword. Conditions on Alcoota Station, north-east of Alice Springs,  NT, are again tinder-dry and...

Adelaide River Inn can hold its own among the best of them. How many pubs can boast of having a stuffed former movie star propped permanently at the front bar, and to being the site of flatulence-inspired murder?

At the peak of its powers the sun never set on the British Empire, but today it is a more accurate, yet perhaps less celebrated fact to note that the sun never sets on US scientific installations, scattered as they are to far-flung corners of the globe, including outback Australia. Jointly managed by the Federal Government and the US Air Force, the Learmonth Solar Observatory, 37...
