Water, or the lack thereof, is western New South Wales' most pressing issue. In Menindee, droughts and mismanagement have pushed the ecological system of its lakes towards total collapse. These dead black-box eucalyptus trees rising out of the water at Lake Pamamaroo are now a distant memory of better times.

About 13,000 temples once coloured the plains of Bagan, Myanmar, in a small space of only 42 sq km. Most built between the 11th and 12th centuries, the golden age abruptly ended when Anawratha's kingdom was invaded by the Mongols in 1287. Around 2200 still remain today, which still provide for a great challenge to find the perfect photo spot.

Inle Lake is the second largest lake in Myanmar and together with Bagan probably amongst the top must see places in Myanmar. The fishermen on this lake typically stand on the stern with their legs wrapped around the oar to see clearer through the dense reeds and floating plants. Main fish caught is the nga hpein which is a local carp only found on this lake. The lake is under threat by deforestation, overuse of pesticides and climate change.
