New passport ruling causing hardship to Malaysians in Australia
Malaysians in Darwin would have to fly about six hours to get to Canberra, via Melbourne or Sydney.
The return airfare could be up to A$850 (A$1 = RM2.85) depending on the travel season. Accommodation (one night), food, taxi fare and other expenses could easily amount to about A$400 for a grand total of A$1,250.

Tamworth tops for a travelling twosome
Each year, the Tamworth festival attracts more than 50,000 fans from all over Australia.

Green guide to Australia
Everyone from travel agents and airlines to hotels and car hire companies now offer travellers the chance to offset their carbon emissions emitted during their holiday.
And an increasing number of travellers are doing their research, investigating which hotel and tour operators have the more eco-friendly options.
Travel company Flight Centre says many travellers are looking to minimise their impact and maximise connections within the community and the environment.
