Meeting Remarkable Women

Geraldine is still giddy after her six busy days in Western Australia.

The trip began at the Margaret River Writers Festival where she interviewed Germaine Greer about her controversial essay "On Rape".

Then it was back to Perth for a big interview with Professor Fiona Wood, a world leader in burns treatment.

It's rare that you get the privilege of meeting two remarkable women in one weekend.

Eliza is back in Beirut. The sun is shining but a dark cloud looms over the Lebanese economy. Eliza fears the million plus Syrian refugees might become political pawns in the fight to secure more loans from Europe.
