1. Idyllic
Scotland Island Roost |
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. Read more here:

2. New
Arts College Campus Inspires with Steel |
Griffith
University has carved out a high profile for its
new Queensland College of Art campus in the heart
of Brisbane after a relocation from the suburbs.
The new AU$33 million campus incorporates spaces
for seven departments and a range of shared facilities
including a library/learning centre, gallery,
auditorium, general teaching spaces, faculty offices,
computer laboratories, studio and workshop spaces.

3. Designer Steel Creates Impressive Garage Doors |
An innovative paint coating system developed by
BHP Steel is becoming increasingly popular on
garage doors throughout Western Australia. COLORGRAIN®
Designer steel, combines up to four separate colours
to create unique colour and patterned appearances
with a depth and texture that cannot be achieved
with single colour painted products. The new finish
offers the appearance of a timber garage door
at a fraction of the cost. Find out more here:

4 . World
Class Rainforest Resort Treads Lightly |
A
multi award winning eco-resort nestled within
600 hectares of open forest offers guests four
and a half star comfort surrounded by remnant
littoral rainforest teeming with birdlife and
marsupials. Angourie Rainforest Resort is set
less than a kilometre from the famous Angourie
surfing competition beach and close to the northern
NSW holiday town of Yamba. For more details:

5. Stylish Home Fits a Lot on a Compact Block |
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.

6. Bushfire Victims Rebuild with Steel |
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. For more about the rebuilding process:

7. Rainwater Tank Rebates Save Water and Money |
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. Read more about these incentives

8. Did You Know... |
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.
