In the Good Old Days, We Hunted Giant Summer Mule Deer High in the Rockies
IT WAS UNLIKE any eve before deer season I had ever known. We were camped above 11,000 feet, and that was certainly a novelty. It was August 27 of last summer— that’s right, August. But here’s the topper. As I sat in camp with my back against a big spruce and binoculars to my eyes, I saw three elk walk out onto a knob above the lake and stand there looking around. Presently, they walked in single file toward a mountain meadow, and two more cows appeared on the knob. Sure, they were nearly a mile away.

FinTok: Regulating the social media finance influencer

Green plants depend on a three billion year old technology. But viewed through the lens of human ... [+] technology, photosynthesis is a failure — only about 1% efficient. Why on earth is it green? Tavis Coburn / Playground Global If humans designed plants, they’d be black, and they would completely transform our world. Green plants depend on a three billion year old technology. Everyone you have ever met, and everything you have ever eaten, exists because of oxygenic photosynthesis.

The old 'Australian dream' might be over in Melbourne
That's where older apartments - built anytime from the 1920s to the 1980s - come in. Noticeably roomier than their shoebox-sized contemporary cousins, these older apartments are often nestled on quiet, residential streets, in walking distance to shopping and easy access to a train line. The house-versus-apartment dilemma is one that Abercromby's real estate director Andrew Harlock and his first-home buying 26-year-old son Angus weighed up recently.

Botanic Gardens director spills on Sydney's best kept secret
I grew up in Oyster Bay in the Sutherland Shire and on my grandparents' experimental farm at West Pennant Hills. My earliest memories are of endless hours of unsupervised play on the banks of the Georges River, among the mangrove forests and oyster leases; and with the sheep and horses on the [long-gone] farmlands around the Hills district. Best thing about living in Sydney? Enjoying the incredible foresight of our leaders in preserving the green spaces that give this city its character.
