Gordon Smith runs a rather wonderful photo blog called Look and See.He has given us permission to use his photos on the Regional Australia Living blog.

We recommend that you have a fun browse through his photos. The story of his trip through the outback is especially fun.

One of the common misconceptions about life in Regional Australia is that you have to give up access to cultural life. This is simply not true. 

For that reason we have started to run some material on the Regional Living blog on cultural activities.

We will transfer this to the main site once we have built up sufficient content.
