...paper and pastels for those who want to capture that exact shade of sand (golden, ocher or russet, depending on the time of day). A dedicated field guide, one of three staff assigned to each suite, helps you choose activities, from falconry to horseback riding to nature walks. The four-wheel desert drive is a must for all but the most queasy - the dunes are high and the incline steep - and the late afternoon camel trek, perfectly timed to watch the sun sink into the sand, shouldn't be missed.

Their little Lachlans and Ellies have been dropped off at school; the cleaner has the run of the house. Baristas awake! Half a dozen of John Howard's welfare mothers, some with prams and pre-schoolers, are squeezing around a couple of tables joined to hold the double-shot lattes, banana bread and babycinos that will in due course rest on six separate bills. They are an exclusive club, to be sure; some 3,000 wealthy stay...
