New Hobbit documentary on ABC
November 11th, 2008 noelbynature Posted in Indonesia No Comments »
There seems to be a new documentary of the flores Hobbit by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation entitled The Hobbit Enigma - best of all, you can see it online here.

Only three features in this week’s rojak, but all quite worthwhile reads covering the Hobbit and the human shoulder, Cham identity and nationalism and community tourism.
