The Last Anzac and the Love of "Higher Things" in Ordinary Life
One recent hot weekend in Perth, when the cool indoors called, I made my way through a pile of newspaper articles dating back to 1997.
The first article was dated 20th December 1997 and called “Last Anzac fought for family values.” It told of the death of Ted Matthews a few weeks earlier. At 101 he was the last original Anzac. The journalist interviewed his daughter, Irene Phillips, about him.

The Tree as a Socially Responsible Organisation
Sitting in a cafe, I was waiting for someone whom I'd arranged to meet here. The tree stood tall outside, its leaves glistening in the sunlight.
