An
Australian specialist in hyperbaric chamber design
has combined an innovative design approach with state

6. Drought - Relief Is Under Our Roofs |
State
and local governments around Australia are actively
promoting water conservation in urban areas through
measures that include a range of rebate schemes designed
to encourage householders to install backyard or under-eaves
rainwater tanks. With many different tank designs
available on the market, it's important that consumers
are aware that tanks made from AQUAPLATE® steel
are the only steel tanks which comply with tough Australian
standards regulating the storage of water fit for
human consumption. To find out more about AQUAPLATE®
steel tanks go to:

8. Did You Know... |
Five
completely trivial but fun facts to boggle your mind.
The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is birds. Did
you know:
- Birds
must fly at an average speed of 17.7 km/h to stay
aloft.
- After
bathing, starlings frequently dry themselves off
by using sheep as towels.
- An
albatross can sleep in midair while flying at a
speed of 56km/h.
- A
3 month old baby pelican weighs more than a full
grown adult pelican.
- The
petrel, a small sea bird, drinks only seawater.
If left inland beside fresh water, it will die of
thirst
