5 . "Sprawling Void" A Winner For Designbuild
Visitors |
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:

8. Did You Know... |
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.
