According to the local tourist board, the small town of Dalby in Queensland, Australia, offers a taste of life as it used to be. Visitors are encouraged to explore by horse and cart, following a heritage trail to a museum displaying ancient farm machinery. However, further off the beaten track is somewhere less reminiscent of a simpler past. In fact, it is a warning of a dystopian future. Grassdale Feedlot is the largest beef farm Down Under and if the UK Government signs a controversial trade deal with Australia, meat from here could soon be on Britain’s dinner plates.

Golden eagles and wildcats could return to England The UK government announced a scheme to reintroduce wildcats and golden eagles back into the country. Reintroductions and habitat restoration work will help reverse decline of wildlife and meet new legally binding biodiversity targets, said the government in a new announcement. Golden eagles have been almost completely absent from English skies for around 180 years, and wildcats, it is widely believed, have not lived in the country for over 200 years.
