Australia has another kind of animal besides kangaroo, that is wombat. While kangaroo and wombat are physically dissimilar, they both share the common marsupial feature of having a pouch. The pouch of a wombat is, perhaps strangely, backward facing.

This is of evolutionary benefit to the wombat's natural behavior though, as wombats use their rodent like front teeth and powerful claws to burrow, and their backwards pouches prevent their offspring from getting covered in dirt.

Though these stubby creatures may appear cute, they commonly become increasingly aggressive as they reach adulthood. The wombat is, however, still cuddly enough to have its own day, which is celebrated every October 22.

The Halloween Kid

Burgeoning filmmaker Axelle Carolyn showed a lyrical, controlled sense of cinema in her 2011 short film debut THE LAST POST. Now, the sometime aclress, model and author have created another work of gentle, frightening craft in THE HALLOWEEN KID.

The short film features a rhyming, Edward Gorey-esque poem (penned by Carolyn) as its script and story: a tale of a poor, put-upon little boy named Henry who feels more akin to the supernatural creatures of his imagination than the cruel, narrow minded adults and children who permeates his world. But of course, Henry might not be as delusional as we think and, come Halloween, he found his only moments of respite amongst other kids, who are in fact, dead!

Thal's pretty much it as far as THE HALLOWEEN KID's narrative goes, but like THE  LAST  POST, the  film  is  not  about  story,  rather  creating  a  tiny, perfectly realized universe that aims for more sensitivity than shock, more melancholy than morbid. The music is lovely and whimsical, as in the almost Boris Karloff-like narration by legendary Shakespearean dramatic Derek Jacobi.

THE HALLOWEEN KID shows even more promise from Carolyn, who with this beautifully sculpted piece of work is one to watch, not just as a 'horror filmmaker', but as a quality director of movies, full stop.

Faster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. ln the most 'developed' societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognised this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.

There are, however, some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some locals see tourists as an easy prey because, not only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras and Jewelery which can be disposed of quickly for profit.

Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater ddanger of spreading contagious diseases around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.

Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many visitors. Australia's Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourists and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays

These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing itself to an extensive tourism development program.
