ka kadu croc applications are now closed for the next lucky kakadu croc wrangler. i am afraid that is all we have time for this week. coming up next week, joe heads to israel to find out how these huge sinkholes have become the latest attraction for travellers to the dead sea. it is a lot to take in because it is devastation but also quite beautiful. don't forget you can quite beautiful. don't forget you ca n follow quite beautiful. don't forget you can follow us wherever we are in the world byjoining our social media feeds. details are your screen now. from me and the rest of the travel show team here in australia, it is goodbye. hi there. snow again caused problems on friday in scotland. scenes like this were fairly commonplace. the snowiest place at the moment — tulloch bridge, in the highlands, where we've nearly got a0 centimetres of snow lying on the ground. now, the forecast this weekend, a couple of areas of low pressure, one swinging in today, another one that's going to be bringing in some heavy rain, and a change to milder conditions on the way for the s

one third of all australian bird species live within kakadu. we have 60 different kinds of mammals.ntry, 1.5 billion—year—old rocks, some of the oldest in the world. on a rock is 20,000—year—old rock art. we are living amongst a 65,000—year—old culture, the oldest in the world. immersing yourself in that is just amazing. for me, the big challenge going forward is tourism and growing tourist numbers because there is a uranium mine leased within the park and that mine is closing down at the end of 2020. that provide a large amount of income and sustains the town of jabiru. finding a sustainable alternative source of revenue for the town to keep people employed and services open is important, so we are working closely with traditional owners and the northern territory government to look at how tourism can replace mining as a source of revenue and sustain the park. i would say the biggest challenge is ensuring that tourism grows in the future but continuing to work with traditional owners as well, making sure that there needs are met and aspirations are realised as well. applications ar
