Quenched and tempered plates play a vital role in the mining, construction and defense industries. Significant advances in flatness and surface quality ensure performance and reliability in harsh environments. Find out more about advances in quench and temper plates here:

In a time of ever increasing cost consciousness, there is a growing need to consider whole-of-project costs when specifying materials. High strength quenched and tempered steels illustrate how the up front cost of materials can be more than offset by other factors. Key design benefits include longer or lighter spans and greater load carrying capacity. For more information go to:

Visitors to this year's Designbuild tradeshow in Sydney found themselves in a void. But far from being an unsettling experience, it proved to be a highlight. The void in question was the "Sprawling Void", a huge, gleaming white exhibition space that formed the centrepiece of Designbuild 2003, held in Sydney in May. Find out more:

Did you know that in July 1873, Ayres Rock (Uluru) was discovered by William Christie Goss, a young, little known explorer on his one and only expedition? In honour of this discovery of Australia’s largest monolith, the theme for this months’ trivia is Australian Landforms. Did you know:

• The highest point on Australian Territory is actually Mawson's Peak, (located on Heard Island well south of the Australian continent, approaching the coast of Antarctica in the Southern Ocean); Mount Kosciuszko is the highest peak on the Australian mainland.
• Located just off the coast of southern Queensland, Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world (165,280 ha).
• Apart from Antarctica, Australia is the driest continent in the world. About 35% of the continent receives so little rain it is effectively desert.
• Ellenborough Falls, perched on the edge of the New England Tableland just north of Taree, is regarded as Australia's tallest single-drop waterfall.
• Lake Eyre (Australia's largest lake) filled only three times last century, and Lake Torrens (Australia’s second largest salt lake) only once.
