PLUS: Slow Business: From Melbourne the story of a Czech immigrant who has made a successful business from marketing pests - she's taken the common garden snail and put it on the menu in restaurants around the country. She says she gets very attached to them, but when they have to go, at least they only go to the very best establishments. PLUS: The Butcher's Pen: We move between Sydney, the Blue Mountains and Queensland's Gold Coast to chronicle the life of Bob Barrett.
