...Adventure seekers: if bungee jumping and whitewater rafting have lost their thrill, how about trying the new Shark Bay attraction at Sea World, tel: (61-7) 5588 2205, on Australia's Gold Coast? This brand-new adrenaline rush allows you-using a snorkel or, if you're a certified diver, via a scuba dive-to come face-to-face with some of our most feared predators.

It writes large in legend the names of those moonshine masters who can propel a little ball on a great arcing journey and bring it to rest with a soft splash in a cup of Milwaukee’s Best. In a single word, it’s Beirut, and it’s made its presence felt on the 6th floor of Quincy...
