	Pilot Guides.com:Barbie a Barra - the seafood taste of Oz
		Australia is world-renowned for the abundance, freshness and variety of seafood on offer, and the barramundi, or barra as it is affectionately called, is one of its specialities.
		Bear in mind, though, that a variety of accompaniments is not all it might be served with - it will often also come with a price tag to match the fine reputation of its flavour, anywhere in the range of AU$25-50.
		Still, you don't have to have loads of cash or be an expert fisherman to bag a barra - simply head down to the local fish market and bung a few on the barbie.

		Barra Head and Lack, recently returned from their European Big Band tour, that had them sharing the stage each night for weeks, aren’t here to battle each other, they’re here to join forces and lift the whole thing to another level.
		This means that they cut in on each other’s songs, adding extra vocals, extra noise, if not taking over parts of them, which means that in the pit people are turning their heads all the time, and everyone’s smiling as we’re flooded in noise.
		They complement each other well, too, not only in that they’ve had time to study each other’s material, but in that their tread pretty much the same terrain musically, with Lack’s political songs a head better, and Barra Head the better musicians.
