Join Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman as she goes over some of the week’s biggest headlines for Northwest Montana. 

This week we learn why some scientists are starting to believe Glacier National Park may have been attached to Australia at one point in the geologic history. 

We’ll hear details about 53,000 acres of land in Lincoln, Sanders and Flathead counties added to a conservation easement. 

And we’ll go through how much was raised for Flathead Valley nonprofits through the annual Great Fish Challenge, hosted by the Whitefish Community Foundation.
