This week on the Australian Bite, landscape architect Andrew Prowse will tell us about his great job designing a town high on the side of a mountain in Papua New Guinea’s Enga province. We’ll hear about a tiny mite that strikes terror into the hearts of Australian beekepers. And artist and photographer Bindi Cole will explain the background to the photograph that’s just won her a major indigenous art award – the Deadly Art Award.

This week on the Bite we join a whale-watching trip off the coast of Queensland, we take a look at the book that won this year’s Miles Franklin literary award – Tim Winton’s “Breath”, and we take a tour of an underground house in the opal mining town of White Cliffs, in north west New South Wales.
