...unready for boarding: the X-43 is only 4 m long, 1.6 m wide and 60 cm thick. But the leaders of world aeronautics seem to believe the future is hypersonic. nasa has invested $185 million in Hyper-X and partly funds Paull's work at the University of Queensland...
Without question, the upsurge of Hanson's party has been greatly exaggerated. Yes, the party has revived itself after being written off in 1998's federal elections.

In Queensland, where the nights are reasonably warm, Lilley says Aboriginal people traditionally used a low, semi-circular windbreak of shrubs or tree boughs "with an open fire and your dog or dogs if it was cool or cold at night. A three-dog night is really cold." One piece of advice the Kuchas haven't heeded: Don't construct your shelter under eucalyptus...
