This Month's Feature Article
1. Building Project Was a Family Affair

A structural engineer and his sons have combined to create a home that is ideally suited for its bushland surroundings on Sydney's northern beaches. The new home at Bayview incorporates design ideas that Murray Coddington and his builder son Sean accumulated through earlier projects with which they were associated. Take a look:

2. Barcode Becomes a Landmark

A unique new building in Sydney's west has become a landmark visible to tens of thousands of motorists each day. Despite the familiar barcode pattern in black and white cladding, the massive document management facility is not about to join the ranks of tourist venues such as the Big Banana or the Big Pineapple.

4. Fast Facts...
  • The English name "Easter" is derived from the ancient name for April, Eostremonat. This month has been said to be dedicated to the pagan fertility goddess Eostre. However in most non-English Christian societies the holiday's name is derived from Pesach, the Hebrew name of Passover.
  • Decorated eggs have been exchanged by cultures across the world well before they were incorporated into the Easter tradition. Both eggs and rabbits are age-old fertility symbols.
  • Chocolate Easter eggs were first made in Europe in the early 1800s. Colourful decorative foil wrappings were first used after World War II.
  • There are about 200 million Easter eggs sold per annum in Australia, and last year each person in Australia ate an average of 10 eggs.
