...treatment. Local plants and Aboriginal remedies are featured throughout the treatments, which are based on the Australian-made Li'Tya product line. Ocher, highly valued by indigenous tribes in ceremony and art, is plentiful on the property and is used to detoxify and soothe, while such plants as wild lime and ginger are ingredients in other preparations. The Maloneys' daughter Kelda, the resort's spa manager, says the emphasis is on a holistic experience. "It's not so much how the buildings look.

But the national semifinals of Panorama, an annual music festival that this year takes place on Feb. 12, serve up something headier than fruit juice. The exuberant competition pits around 30 professional steel bands of 60 to 120 members against each other in front of a crowd of 15,000. Fans sing, cheer their favorite bands, and catch up with friends and neighbors while picnicking on pelau (a rice and peas mixture), macaroni pie, souse (a spicy soup made from either pigs' or chickens...
