La Cala del Sasso (the Stone Stairway) is one of the most extraordinary structures in the European Alps. It is a sweeping trail of four thousand, four hundred and forty-four stone stairs that was built by the Venetians in the 14th century to get timber, mostly larch pines, out of the mountains and onto barges moored below at Valstagna, on the Brenta River. From here the timber was towed to the Arsenale, the dockyards of Venice, one hundred and twenty kilometres away, where they were used to satisfy La Serenissima's voracious need to build ships.

The Best Places in Outback Queensland

#Queensland


Word on the street is that Australians could more than double the amount of annual leave they have just by picking the right days off. Queenslanders are in luck as they could enjoy 47 days off (yes, you heard us!), using only 19 days of annual leave; those not living in the Sunny state can still get a cruisy 38 days off using only 15 days of annual leave.

Throwback: Walkabout Magazine, October 1969. Bill Peach Profile

WALKABOUT PROFILE - October 1969


"My romantic ambition," confessed Bill "was to be a paddleboat skipper or professional fisherman-any sort of life on the river would have suited me fine. But it was a bit hard to organise . . ."

River banks no longer bound Bill Peach's world; satellites flash TV images to him faster than the paddlewheels threshed in his boyhood.
