Deep purple and kind of blue
Article Abstract:
Visitors to Australia's Northern Territory often overlook the West MacDonnell Ranges. However, it is very worthwhile taking the time to visit these mountains, which are part of an ancient mountain range of quartzite rock that makes a path through the central Australian desert. A large part of the MacDonnells is located within a national park where there are walking trails, picnic areas and camping facilities. The region can be extremely hot in summer, but visitors will find many places to cool off, including Ellery Creek Big Hole.

Paradise lost
Article Abstract:
The residents of the Chagos Islands, who call themselves Ilois, were gradually evacuated to Mauritius and the Seychelles after the UK leased the islands to the US as a military base in 1966. They have subsequently faced great hardship, and long to return to their birthplace. Community leader Olivier Bancoult has now been given permission by the High Court in London, England, to contest a law that prevents him returning to the Chagos Islands. The UK feels that Mauritius should deal with this problem.
