Lying 440km north of the equator, Brunei has a tropical weather system, so even if you visit outside the official wet season there's every chance that you'll see some rain. -B- THAILAND The climate of most of Thailand is governed by three seasons: rainy (roughly June to October), caused by the southwest monsoon; cool (November to February); and hot (March to May). The cool season is the pleasantest time to visit and the most popular. -D- AUSTRALIA Many Aboriginal people— especially in central Australia— have managed to maintain their traditional way of life, speaking their own languages and living according to their law. Conversely, most Aboriginal people, supported by dole cheques and other subsidies, often fall prey to a destructive cycle of poverty, ill-health and alcoholism. -F- JAMAICA Famous for its beaches and music, brash Jamaica is much more besides. The island boasts vibrant towns and cities such as Kingston, which inspired the music of Bob Marley and countless other reggae superstars.
