While the quality of the photographs entered in the competition was taken into consideration, equal balance was given by the three judges to the supporting text and reasons for the choice of tree by the entrants.
The competition and exhibition is part of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council's 'Treeline' initiative, celebrating Significant Trees of the Sunshine Coast. |

The Refuge |
| Date: | ' Thu 2 Dec - Sun 12 Dec' |
|---|
| Recalling the tone of his masterful drama Under The Sand, François Ozon's latest work returns to the seaside and to the exploration of complex femininity. At the beginning of this languid and sensual tale, Mousse wakes from a drug-induced coma to discover her lover has died and she is pregnant. She retreats to a secluded villa where she is joined by her deceased lover's brother and, through a series of deceptively casual incidents, a deeply charged relationship develops. Ozon elicits fine performances from the radiant Isabelle Carré and pop star-turned-actor Louis-Ronan Choisy, again proving himself a deft hand at revealing the ambiguities that simmer beneath human relationships. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the San Sebastian International Film Festival. |
Round She Goes in Adelaide |
| Venue: | German Club Hall at 223 Flinders St, Adelaide SA 5000 |
|---|
| Date: | 'Saturday 5th May 2012' |
|---|
| Time: | 10am-3pm |

| Fee: | $2 |
|---|
Round She Goes is a popular preloved designer and vintage market for women which started in Melbourne. It is coming to South Australia and is looking for stallholders to take part at the inaugural market on Saturday 5 May 2012.
The way that this market works is that women who have an overflowing wardrobe with designer threads can apply for a stall and, once accepted, they come along on the day to sell their items. It is a much easier way to sell than online and shoppers have the option to try things on and talk to the stallholders directly about the items they are buying.
During these touch economic times, it is a great way for women to make extra money by being a stallholder and for shoppers to buy designer names at bargain prices. |

Gone are the days when passengers could sit in the cockpit with the captain en route to LA. Where's the glitz and the glamour, the figure of male fantasy, the icon of female perfection - well travelled yet ready to serve? It's here Pam Ann, the A list airhostess to the stars promises this new show will bring the thrill back into flying.

An early preview screening of the film The End of the Line is a must see for
all lovers of seafood. Imagine an ocean without fish. Imagine your meals
without seafood. Imagine the global consequences. This is the future if we
do not stop, think and act FAST. Sydney residents will be able to attend
the early screening of The End of the Line - the world's first major feature
documentary highlighting the devastating effect of overfishing. The preview
screening will be hosted by Sydney Aquarium Conversation Fund (SACF) and
Nature Conversation Council of NSW, supported by the Save Our Marine Life
campaign, prior to its expected cinema release in early 2010.
All proceeds from tickets sales will help fund SACF's and Nature
Conservation Council's important local marine conservation work. |
