Summary FOOD BOWLDuring election campaigns you don't often hear political leaders agree on anything. But there is one idea that Tony Abbott and Kevin Rudd both say they'll work on if they win the election. They reckon farming could have a much bigger future in the North of Australia. As Sarah finds out, the great Northern Food Bowl is an old idea that's still causing controversy.PARLIAMENT TOURWould you love to take your class on a guided tour of Canberra Parliament House? Well, don't worry - we've got it covered. We've been given rare access to all areas of this famous building and even got to chill out in the Prime Minister's office! (Teacher note: This story is double the normal duration)KOKODA CHALLENGEThe Kokoda Track is one of the most challenging walks you can attempt anywhere in the world. So it's pretty impressive that 18 year-old Chloe attempted it to raise money for trauma research. But what makes this story even more remarkable is that just 16 months earlier doctors were unsure if Chloe would even live. (Nathan)INDIGENOUS CRICKETAustralia may have lost the Ashes series in England but back home a talented squad of young Indigenous cricketers are training hard to one day replace them. Catherine caught up with the team and discovered some interesting cricket history along the way. (Teacher note: Warning - this story contains images of people who've died)
