Kate Pallardy - Thai Massage

Walking towards my massage I see angelically written on the little shops front massage for everyday people. It seemed so innocent and gentle. So, I politely slipped off my sandals and walked inside and asked for a basic Thai massage. The lady nods and points me to the bed where she draws the curtain... read more

Christine Waitz - Why you should never pass anything to me...

I wouldn't say I was a sporty kid. To tell the truth, I was completely unathletic. While the kids in my neighborhood were playing tag or ball I preferred to read my books or to draw. I think that's the reason why you should never expect me to catch something no matter if it's a ball or a key or w... read more

Abigail Bayley - Catastrophic Risk

Catastrophic risk - sounds pretty scary and dramatic doesn't it?  Well, this is how the current fire risk in parts of Victoria is being described today.  We are lucky in Melbourne and its surrounds, the risk here is apparently only extreme!

Caroline Koll - And then a plane crashed on the bike course...

Yesterday, the final race of the year in South Africa took place in Germiston, which forms part of the Greater Johannesburg. The reputation of Germiston is, well, at best a little dodgy!
