...corner of the Australian Outback, it finally happened. At the bottom of a tunnel near Barramundi Gap, warm water was seeping from the rocks. That was a clue to a find that now produces about 100,000 carats of dull-brown rough every day and has about 1 trillion carats left to give. The Argyle Diamond Mine is the richest in the world in terms of the sheer number of stones, but they are small and dingy, mostly the color of breakfast tea. They seemed destined to end up as knife blades, dental tools and drilling bits...
...Nadjamerrek to the increasingly refined rarrk of Mawurndjul, who paints shimmering spiderwebs of yellow, black and red. The technique began with Yirawala (1903-1976), who in the '60s first transposed men's ceremonial body designs to bark. The elaborate cross-hatching also relates to the weaving of the giant barramundi fish traps, mandjabu...
...please guests at the Tanjong Jara beach resort. Many resorts rely on predictable hotel kitchens. Not this one.

More instances of rock...
...Rodger, Elisabeth's "Outback Daddy," fell for the oldest con the book - the ingenue and her "sick mother" - and the Barramundi tribe is down to four. We're supposed to be thinking about the jury, but somehow the remaining four aren't the types to have tantalizingly made enemies - or lingering shadow alliances - in the Richard Hatch tradition. (Though we caught Colby, who is probably aware that he's morphed into something of a villain of late, trying to win back Jerri's woman-scorned heart by shooting a meaningful glance at her breasts...
