Royal Australian Mint announces the release of the new holographic $1 coin.



They will be available in the proof sets. I wonder if they'll hit circulation with the standard $1 coins.

80% of us live in urban areas. I doubt many Aussies have seen a 'roo outside a zoo. Most of us go on holidays at the beach, barrier reef or overseas. The Interior is always the dream destination that is never reached.

"Walkabout" was required reading in English and the teacher showed us the movie in class.

If you want to see more of The Outback, look for "Ricky And Pete" which will make you laugh, and "Rabbit Proof Fence" which will make you angry.
