Article Abstract:
The Tjakupai Cultural Theme Park in Far North Queensland, Australia, presents a long-overdue perspective of Aboriginal beliefs and pre-Westerner life. The Tjakupai tribe and Don and Judy Freeman have long run the famous Tjakupai Dance Theatre, and consider the new $7.2 million venture a natural outgrowth. It features theaters using holographic technology to illustrate such concepts as the Tjakupai belief about the universe's creation, and a reconstructed native village where visitors can sample traditional foods and learn games.

No tears here
Article Abstract:
Crocodile farming has become a flourishing business in Australia, with more than 15,000 pieces of raw crocodile skin being exported in 1996. Australia is particularly benefiting from the fact that the estuarine crocodile, which has very attractive skin, is only native to Australia and Asia. It is now proving difficult for crocodile farmers to meet demand, and they are considering expansion. The largest producing region is Northern Territory, which produced around 6,500 skins and more than 35,000 kg of meat in 1996.

The allure of Japan: Asian girls looking for jobs end up in the control of the yakuza
Article Abstract:
Asian women who migrate to Japan in search of employment often fall upon hard times and come under the control of organized crime. Misleading job offers may result in jobs in bars or as prostitutes. Examples can be found among immigrants from Thailand and the Philippines. A common tactic is to charge so much for the actual trip to Japan that the women are left in debt to their agents, who coerce them into unsavory occupations.
