Kuching is one of my favourite Asian Capitals. I think it is a very easy place to travel for Westerners and is a great base to explore the Borneo Interior. I also review the backpackers accommodation I am staying at, The B and B Inn. I’ve been here for a few weeks and feel they do a number of things right with regard to tourist accommodation. The B and B Inn is the first registered inn catering for backpackers in Kuching. A lot of backpacker’s accommodation in Kuching are not registered and can lead to problems with travel insurance if things go wrong, eg fire To prebook accommodation at the B & B Inn Phone: +60 82 237 366 email: phanlily@hotmail.com Address: 30-1 Jalan Tubuan, Kuching, Sarawak, Borneo XF100 Canon CineF preset

Thirty minutes drive from Mt. Isa, West Leichhardt station is a 310000 acre cattle station. Up here there are two seasons, the dry and the wet. Currently it is the end of the dry season, a time of maintenance and repair. It’s also a time of waiting…waiting for the first rains to hit. The land is harsh and dry, having gone up to 40 weeks without rain. I interviewed station owner Ron Croft about life in the outback.
