22.01.2022 Timor-Leste is one of the world’s unsung tourist destinations, with low visitor numbers in spite of its impressive natural credentials, which provide the setting for a perfect secluded adventure. On land, there are forested slopes teeming with birdlife, jungle caves tattooed with ancient rock paintings and crumbling Portuguese colonial towns to discover. Adventurous guests can embark on a submersible to hunt for lost Second World War wrecks in the depths of the straits. Travellers are also sure to encounter dolphins, manta rays, whale sharks and more than 30 different species of whale, ranging from migrating blue whales to the resident sperm whale population.

18.01.2022 Congratulations to the seasonal workers who left Timor-Leste for Australia yesterday to work for Australian fruit farmers in the Northern Territory. The workers... will pick and plant melons at two farms in the Australian outback, Red Dirt Melons and Desert Farms, which are both delighted to have Timorese workers join their staff. And, over the coming harvest season they hope to recruit even more Timorese men and women to fill critical labour shortages. Camelia dos Santos from Lospalos in Lautem said, "I'm really excited about this opportunity. I'm going to use the money I earn to open a shop in Lospalos." The workers from across the country will join more than 1,000 Timorese currently in Australia who are building their skills and experience and sending home remittances under the Seasonal Worker Program and Pacific Labour Scheme. *** Parabéns ba traballador sazonal sira ne’ebé sai husi Timor-Leste ba Australia horiseik, hodi serbisu iha to’os sira iha Territóriu Norte.
