Track spokesman won't bail on Sunshine Coast rail

WHEN researching Sons Of The East, I was surprised to find the band members not only have amazing musical talent they apparently have other interesting skills. When reading through triple j's Unearthed page and the band's Facebook page, I discovered the indie folk band from Sydney consists of Jack Rollins, who once tamed an emu, Nic Johnston - a guy who is without doubt the best at finding shortcuts, and how could we forget Dan Wallage, whose hair was once apparently described by David Att..>> view originalLocal researchers plan Zika rapid diagnosis project
SWAMP dwellers and residents living in mosquito-prone areas of the Sunshine Coast need not fear a Zika outbreak, as the species that carries the virus hasn't been found this far south. But they should abstain with having sex with anyone who has been to an area where there's an outbreak, after a patient in Texas was found to be infected after her sexual partner returned from Venezuela with the disease. The Zika virus was first discovered by researchers in the Ugandan Zika Forest in 1947,..>> view originalSunshine Coast university boss says he would be refugee
