The Making of an Australian Style
Friends Fashion and Fabulousness by Dr Sally Gray now in its 2nd edition, linking fashion, art, sexual politics and diverse urban subcultures. A story of intelligent creative friends, encouraging one another energetically to live daily life, and of how the personal and political became profitable. It offers gossip, an intimate account of funny and ironic gestures; the excitement of the gay and feminist politics of the time, the interest of connections between figures in fashion, art and entertainment in Australia and overseas. She also reminds us of the confidence of creative Australians at the time.

A device that enhances sporting performance
This wireless GPS device is a small and lightweight wearable. It tracks micro-movements in real time, providing instantaneous monitoring of accelerations, changes in directions, heart rates and force applied on knees and ankles. The data can be used to measure the practice workload of players and monitor fatigue that could increase the risk of injury. It was born out of collaboration between the Australian Institute of Sport and the Cooperative Research Centres. www.catapultsports.com
