Today is the super fun day on any itinerary involving long distance travel where mind-bending jet lag sets in. It felt like the perfect day to tackle maybe not the most intense news source I can get my hands on in this region of Australia. And this is how we find ourselves welcoming the very, very local inky the Fraser Coast Chronicle into the mixed media traveling news maelstrom. The Chronicle sports a very festive front page, concerned mostly with Christmas-related stories, specifically tips on how to improve your holiday activities. Not much of this material really qualifies as news (it has more in common with a magazine like Real Simple than with, say, The Sydney Morning Herald), but that doesn't mean that it's uninformative, particularly to an outsider like myself. For instance, did you know that there is such a thing as a ham bag, and that you should really have two on hand in order to keep your Christmas ham in tip-top shape? Knowledge.
