Australia - The Kimberly

Cambodia - Green Day Clean Up Initiative

Australia - Tasmania's Mountt Lyell Railway

It was March 1897, and today there is every chance that even with 21st century technology no company would be foolhardy enough to even contemplate a railway like that of the Mount Lyell Mining Company. Full Story.

Australia - Loch Ard Gorge & Flagstaff Hill

The story of Tom and Eva is told nightly in Shipwrecked, a sound and laser show at the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village at Warrnambool, near western Victoria's world-famous Shipwreck Coast, a disaster zone that since European settlement has claimed an astonishing 700-something vessels. Full Story.

Caribbean - Mayreau

Mayreau is peopled by just 300 of some of the Caribbean's friendliest and most extraordinarily polite souls who live in a hillside village that's simply called The Village. Full Story

Australia - Luna Park Sydney

With some of the best views of the Sydney Harbour, Luna Park Sydney not only offers great panoramic vistas but also some of the coolest theme park rides in Australia. As Richard Moore discovered, it's also an historical landmark which opened its gates on the 4th of October, 1935. Full Story.
