Where better to escape to paradise, than unspoilt Scotland Island, in Sydney’s Pittwater. This dream encouraged well known actor, John Jarratt, to find a dilapidated old fisherman’s cottage on the island. The fisherman’s cottage soon proved less than a dream, as its cramped spaces left no space for entertaining, the roof leaked, and it was literally falling down around John Jarratt’s ears.

A new upmarket home from one of Melbourne's leading builders cleverly fits the features of a spacious family home into even the narrow blocks of the city's inner eastern suburbs. The Canterbury by Metricon Homes is intended to fit right into its namesake suburb and similarly long settled areas, but can also transpose the style of these highly sought after suburbs into new estates if desired.

Less than 12 months after bushfires swept through a southern Sydney recreation and conference centre destroying buildings worth AU$5 million, three new homes built from fire resistant building materials are nearing completion on the site. The Tops Conference Centre at Stanwell Tops was the scene on Christmas Day 2001 of bushfires which also destroyed more than 60 percent of the adjoining Royal National Park.

The New South Wales and Victorian governments announcement of rebates of up to $500 for installing a backyard rainwater tank are the latest in a growing series of 'water wise' initiatives around Australia to conserve water as drought conditions worsen. The rebates will be paid to anyone who buys a rainwater tank for their home or business in Sydney Water's area of operation, with an additional $150 for anyone who connects the tank to their toilet or washing machine.

Five completely trivial but fun facts to boggle your mind. The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is tennis. Did you know:

• The very first Wimbledon Championship was in 1877 when it was watched by some 200 spectators. In 1999 it was broadcast to 174 countries, with an estimated global audience of 1 billion people.
• Tennis was first played in France before the 12th century, using bare hand to hit the ball. Players then progressed to using gloves, then short bats and now rackets.
• Before it became known as tennis, the sport was called 'Sphairistike'
• Slazenger has provided every tennis ball for the Wimbledon Championship since 1902.
• The youngest ever US Open men's champion is Pete Sampras, who was 19 years and 28 days old when he won the title for the first time in 1990.
