US President Barack Obama's historic visit to Burma is aimed at encouraging more political reforms in the once pariah state.
His time there is being seen as the starkest illustration yet of Burma's emergence from decades of isolation and repression.

There are more than 20,000 Burmese - many of them former political exiles and refugees - living in Australia. Most of them are still not free to return home.
