Rural news and issues across Australia for the week.

• Rural News Week ending November 28
  Rural news for the week
• Rural Reporter for Saturday, November 29, 2008
  This week we head onto the bowling greens and into the bull riding chutes for some close-up sporting action; go bush to discover what a bore runner does; and follow the fortunes of two female vet students, hard at work on a remote cattle property in the Pilbara. We also see how a mobile timber mill is helping get young Aboriginal blokes back on track in Arnhem Land.
• Camera collector

• Plastic cow collector
  What would inspire someone to procure a herd of 100 plastic cows, without paying for a single one?
• Country Viewpoint - Bill Hempel
