A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good j...

The passing of the Queen is a sad day. What will this bring, a republic, King Charles, King William? RIP Queen Elizabeth.

We survived the Arkaroola Rd and Oodnadatta track, not unscathed but better than some. We found it almost pointless asking others how the road ahead is. Some versions of 'ok' means very rough.
