			<dc:creator>STAR</dc:creator>
			<description>The Outback is the remote arid areas of Australia.  The outback is home to the Australian feral camel, donkey and dingo.  Owing to the low and erratic rainfall over most of the outback, combined with soils which are usually not very fertile, inland Australia is relatively sparsely settled. 

The Australian Outback is full of very well-adapted wildlife.  Many animals rest during the heat of the day, such as kangaroos and feral dogs.

Feral animals such as Camels thrive in central Australia, brought  ...</description>

it is our FIRST and many may miss looking under the header...and since we keep the game safe by not mentioning outside forums in game.....etc.

If someone gives me 'how to' I would do one as I used to do graphics for UA...but not on computer

and for some reason? the kids Won't teach me  

OTHERWISE I fear I can 'predict the future' and may already know the winner   </description>
