Country Breakfast for January 5, 2013 - 04/01/2013




Country Breakfast: ABC Rural show

Summary: Some nostalgia and history this week as we head out to a dig site in the Northern Territory that's literally overflowing with fossilised bones; and we get a sneakpeak into a treasured collection of bric-a-brac in Charters Towers. We also fire up some old kerosene lamps in the Kimberley; and take a trip back in time when a flotilla of historic paddle steamers takes over the Murray River. We also go tagging turtles in northern Australia; introduce you to a family of whip crackers; an all female shearing team takes to the boards outside Orange; and refugees bring in the fruit in Victoria's Goulburn Valley
