Big drive at the golf course




THE world's longest golf course - a mean 853 miles - is among outback tourism projects given a funding boost by the Australian government to help drought-hit communities.
The Nullarbor Links project involves building one hole at 18 participating roadhouses and tiny townships along the remote Eyre Highway between Western and South Australia. Travelling non-stop at the speed limit, it would take motorists 13 hours to get from one end to the other. But the idea is to persuade travellers to take a break at the highway's roadhouses and tiny settlements, where they can tee-off to an "outback fairway", and "green". Read the rest here.
