Writing in this beautiful photographic book’s foreword, human rights lawyer Julian Burnside says it may be the first book that brings to life the reality of the culture of the Hazaras for Australians. Hazaras are the largest group of boat people who have arrived in Australia in the last 15 years. The photographs, artworks and stories in this book aim to bridge the cultural divide and provide a greater understanding of the Hazaras.

Top Gear Patagonia Special

ABC DVD (G)
Three DVDs to give away

The 11th Top Gear Special is a glorious celebration of the V8 engine. Or at least it was supposed to be. In it, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May take a trio of V8 powered sports cars for an epic and arduous 1600 mile road trip through the spectacular landscapes of Patagonia. Along the way they encounter swamps, deserts, forests, beaches and snowy mountain passes. The threesome and their often malfunctioning machines press on towards the southernmost city in the world and an impending game of car football. Unfortunately, that’s not quite how things turn out.
