On a lake and creek catchment system positioned around the Meadowbrook campus of Griffith University, researchers are using revolutionary water quality monitoring equipment, manufactured in Logan using recycled goods.
MORE than 400 competitors pounded the pavement across three events to raise money for charity in the Griffith Sport Logan Fun Run.
From a maiden intake of 500 in 1998, Griffith University’s Logan campus now has a cohort of 2000 and a reputation as a national showcase of social inclusion in higher education.
Skilling students for jobs of the future is only one facet to the Meadowbrook-based campus. Carving a niche as a community entity ready to champion Logan and all it offers is another.
SOLDIERS with post-traumatic stress disorder are finding brotherhood and healing through the rigours of the Kokoda Track.
WITH torn sails and splintered timbers, a Roman ship foundered in the savage seas between Greece and Crete. Some 2000 years later, what it carried would rattle the world.
HER marriage had a beautiful facade and a rotten core. On the outside he was charming. He called her Princess or Angel. He looked after her. Made all the decisions. But few knew what he was really like. Like the time he laughed at her underwear. Or the time he told her she smelled.
HE made a point of making friends in high places, this great-grandson of an English Lord and war hero. Even the local police sergeant, Murray Watson, who got to know Gerard through the Rotary club, rated him “one of the nicest guys in the world”.
THEY came for him on June 13. Nearly two months after he made that Triple-0 call, telling the operator his wife was missing.
SHE said yes when he asked her to marry him. Her ambitious, charming, baby-faced boyfriend who liked to take charge. She wasnt sure if she was ready for marriage, ready for children, ready for such a drastic change.
GERARD dialled Triple-0. “I don’t want to be alarmist,” he told the operator. Calm. Polite. “My, my wife isn’t home. Um, I don’t know where she is.”
WORD spread through the mums in the school tuckshop. It was September, 2011, and word of Gerard’s infidelity had spread from the real estate community to the school community. A friend of Allison’s approached. It was time she knew.
IT WAS a tapered coffin of rosewood. Allison Baden-Clay, whose body had lain abandoned and exposed on the muddy banks of a suburban creek for 10 days, whod been zipped into a body bag and set out on a steel slab, lay on satin under an arrangement of coloured peonies.
TODAY a high-risk operation begins to refloat the Costa Concordia, two years after it sank in a deadly and terrifying disaster. This is how it will happen.
