In a country where Taliban once banned girls from attending school, today in Kabul more than 100 women play. A new documentary film follows the fortune of the national team.

Amazing Moeraki

07 November, 2010

We were all in need of a holiday and Moeraki fishing village, near the famous boulders, seemed the perfect place. It's only a three and a half hour drive from our home in Christchurch and we could rent a relatively inexpensive bach, writes Amanda Cropp.

Meeting Trout Fishing in New Zealand in Rotorua

09 June, 2011

This story is about a personal journey involving trout fishing in New Zealand and how I came to arrive at the Rotorua A-Z Trout Fishing School this year. The story invokes the spirit of Richard Brautigan, and American author who created Trout Fishing in America as a character in a novel by the same name. So Trout Fishing in New Zealand becomes becomes not only a theme but also a character.

Balolo fishing in Fiji

21 March, 2011

This story was written in 2006 after a holiday in Fiji. Having never heard of or seen these strange worm-like fish, I was intrigued to learn more about them from the local people. The fish only rise to the ocean surface two days a year, in October and again in mid November.

ARK ANGELS

14 November, 2010

Queensland couple Alan and Susan Carle have devoted their lives to collecting over 3000 species of ethno-botanical plants from the world’s fast diminishing rainforests, dodging bugs, bulldozers and bullets along the way. At their property, the Botanical Ark, the pair run tours for groups of business executives to show the many important uses these plants have for humans – from food to fuel and medicinal ingredients.
