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.

A mixed bag of stories on this week’s Bite. We meet a West Australian composer whose passion is collecting and composing music on old “ruined” pianos. We take a look inside a Sunshine Coast crematorium. And grafftti artists tell us why walls and pavements are better than paper.
