SCIENCE NEWS

Australia's first female Nobel Prize Winner

White Hat congratulates Dr Elizabeth Blackburn on becoming Australia's first female Nobel Prize Winner. Readers of our site will know that we have predicted that she would become a Nobel Prize winner for some time and that Elizabeth Blackburn has long been on our list of 200 Significant Australians and 100 Important Living Australians despite the National Trust Living Treasures list passing over her and people like Fields Medal winner Terry Tao in favour of minor media presenters. Congratulations Dr Blackburn from those thousands who like you studied science at the University of Melbourne.

TOURISM NEWS

This tour was also featured by ABC radio on 24 May and will feature in a documentary series on Burke and Wills to be shown on European television in 2008. The tour has been operating for many years and has won praise from a wide range of sources.
