Ancient crater holes are still a mystery

A weird and wonderful attraction at South Kolan, close to the Queensland 'sugar capital' of Bundaberg,  is the Mystery Craters. I've been fascinated by its 35 water-filled craters, believed to be millions of years old on each of my visits. This time around it's my mate John Crook's turn to visit the Mystery Craters and he files an audio report on it in the latest edition of ATW Travelradio Australia. Also in this show I list the world’s ‘retail therapy’ hot spots as rated by expedia.com. Frances Beasley reports on one of her favourite regional airports, Southampton (England). The US crew led by Arthur von Wiesenberger chats with author Justine van der Leur about her book on living in Umbria (italy). Listen to the podcast by clicking this link!
