Headline-grabbing floods in towns like Roma, Charleville and St George have slightly obscured a massive water event that has been quietly snaking its way through far western Queensland. This week Adam Kerezsy flew over flooded Central Australia and has this report on one of the biggest ecological stories this year.

For over a year the NSW south coast has slowly cracked and dried.
A little over a week ago a neighbour and his friends tried to save native fish as they struggled to survive in a coastal lagoon that had gone so rank everything living in it was starting to die. A few days later it [...]]]></description>

‘Dad look at this,’ my nine-year-old daughter said to me in awe. Polite, silent, internalised groan. Was it Bindi Irwin on television again? Some new lyric she’d finally heard in a Taylor Swift song? No, in her hand was an apple.
‘It’s the perfect apple,’ she said as proudly as if she was the smug chicken [...]]]></description>

By JAMES WOODFORD
I hate to say it but there is one small way Opposition leader Tony Abbott is right. His two most repeated and quoted recent comments on the environment may sound like hyperbole but he is in fact absolutely correct.
Whether it be an emissions trading scheme or a carbon tax the new measure will [...]]]></description>

By JULIA BAIRD
When I decided to move from Sydney to Manhattan three years ago, the most common response I had from my friends was; “What about the beach??” Implying of course, I was mad to leave behind the craggy coves I spent so much time in, as well as those luscious, long summer days. I [...]]]></description>

Vivienne left a comment recently on this website which said: &#8221;Environmentalists should be either vegan or vegetarian&#8221;. I am neither. By Vivienne&#8217;s reckoning, I am automatically part of why the world is in trouble.
I am the father of four carnivorous children - a fact several people have told me is inconceivably at odds with a [...]]]></description>

Kangaroo meat is low in fat, tender and delicious (when it&#8217;s cooked right) and environmentally sustainable. But are Australians ready to stomach eating the national emblem? Greg Bearup shoots a roo to serve to some slightly apprehensive guests. First published Good Weekend magazine 9/01/10.
As we set off into the scrub, up into the back paddocks [...]]]></description>

At the end of a depressing week of bad news, I thought I would offer up a change of pace&#8230;.
