| Bollywood movies that won't inspire you to travel Posted: 26 Dec 2011 12:00 PM PST  Show map at bottom of page Bollywood is a truly wondrous place.

How else can a rational mind explain a happy couple teleporting from the fields of Punjab to the Swiss Alps, and then to Machu Picchu, all within the time it takes for them to reach a song's chorus line? Ah, but that's par for the course. What we're concerned with here is entire films being based in locations where you would never dream their protagonists belong. Presenting the most shameless, implausible whoring of location sets by Indian filmmakers in the last three years.    |
| Braidwood: A journey into Goldrush heritage Posted: 26 Dec 2011 11:57 AM PST  Show map at bottom of page Four hours' drive south of Sydney, in the southern tablelands of New South Wales, Braidwood is unique as it's the first town listed as a historic entity by the NSW Heritage Office.

On the Kings Highway, halfway between Canberra and Batemans Bay on the NSW south coast, Braidwood has become a unique weekender from Sydney. Here is a journey into history -- and where to eat, drink, sleep, experience and play.    |
