It’s a real mixed bag on this week’s Bite. You’ll take a tour of Canberra’s Deep Space communication complex, and travel up north to Western Australia’s remote Kimberley region, where the people of Wangkatjungka are out in their gardens growing fresh fruit and vegetables. You’ll also hear about new rules regarding the practice of Chinese medicine and acupuncture in Australia.
