Until Daka leaves her life behind her and through fate and an interfering housemate, the two women meet and hit it off.”

The same natural advantages – incredible resources on an enormous continent – that helped Australia prosper in the 20th century are the ingredients for becoming the most prosperous, entirely renewable, economy in the world.”
