Water fallout
Article Abstract:
West Australians are protesting a plan to dam the Fitzroy river for the purpose of irrigating cotton fields on Kimberly rangeland. Western Agricultural Industries, headed by private developer John Logan, will sign a deal to conduct a two-year feasibility study on the project. Protesters are against the introduction of a pesticide-reliant crop and the impact on Aboriginal communities. Supporters claim the flow of the picturesque river will not be interrupted.

Riding the Tiger's Back
Article Abstract:
Philip Blenkinsop's exhibition of photographs about the coup in Cambodia during Jul, 1997, and the Myanmar jungle in 1994 portray a part of the world most Australians are not aware of. Blenkinsop feels Asians regard death without Western taboos, but that government suppression of the 1992 riots in Thailand has left scars still unhealed in that nation. In all conflicts, Blenkinsop has seen people living to the fullest.
