My late friend, Terry Denton was a true creative. His distinctive illustrating style made his work instantly recognizable. He was the Australian equivalent of Quentin Blake. His pen is stilled, his legacy continues to spread and inspire young readers.

It's a total disincentive to research items on the web. It only results in being bombarded on every social media platform you visit with a slew of unwanted ads and promotions. You are then compelled to invest time in blocking them and removing the garbage!

The Coalition announces a plan to rewrite the national curriculum, emphasising “pride” in the Australian flag and Western culture. Sounds like they want to take us back to the 1950's in pursuit of some mythical golden era of education. One year teacher qualifications included!

One day in 1839, Robert Cornelius sat for 15 minutes in front of a hand-built camera made of opera glass and sheets of copper. His picture became the first “selfie” ever taken. Selfies- so yesterday. Take that modernistas!
