Summary Kelpies: A Dash Of DingoThe Australian kelpie is considered the best all-round stock dog on Earth with its abilities taking it from Australia's dusty Outback to even herding reindeer in the Arctic. But the kelpie's origins are shrouded in mystery. It's long been rumoured the breed even has a fair dash of dingo. Now a new book claims to have finally uncovered the truth about our much-loved breed.CARROTS: GIRL POWERTwo years ago, Queensland vegetable grower Richard Gorman headed to the US in search of a solution to the problem of vegetable waste. He figured there had to be a more profitable use for wonky, marked, oddly-shaped produce than feeding it to cattle. The solution he found has been a big success because he discovered another underutilised resource in the business: the farmers' wives.FLYNN: THE MAN ON THE TWENTY DOLLAR NOTESI'm very pleased to leave you today with an interview about a very special Australian, and before I tell you his name, here's a clue. This is an Australian $20 note of course and here's his portrait. The man's name is synonymous with the bush and many Australians owe him their lives. One further clue: he founded the Royal Flying Doctor Service. He is of course John Flynn - Flynn of the Inland, as he's often called.OUTBACK EDUCATIONMany country families have no choice but to send their children away to boarding school. They're now saying the cost of boarding is rising, but government assistance isn't keeping pace. It's a mixed bag for rural education as this year university students will get more government assistance than ever before. For parents, that's great news, but their children still have to make it through high school, where costs are rising rapidly
