Tilly woke to the sound of pouring rain, noisy and relentless like factory machinery. Tilly groaned. It was very early, but the band was leaving for the competition at 8 o’clock. She dragged herself out of bed unwillingly and dressed. There was hardly time for breakfast but her dad insisted. She gobbled down some toast, hauled her backpack onto her shoulders and stood at the door like a soldier ready for combat. It was so very wet but the bus was coming and she had to run for it. She took off through the deluge, reaching the bus stop just in time. She struggled up the slippery metal steps, leaning forward to rescue her backpack from the doors as they closed. ‘Move down the back of the bus,’ called the driver, repeating the same plea he made at every stop. The bus was very full, as it always was on wet days. Tilly shuffled down the aisle resting the base of her trumpet case on the floor and pushing it along with her foot as she went. The bus lurched from side to side, winding its way through the narrow suburban streets. Having claimed the last seat, Tilly soon drifted off to sleep. She didn’t notice the trumpet case slipping under the seat in front of her. Tilly was woken by the sudden silence of an empty bus. She jumped up from her seat and stumbled down the aisle and out through the door. It was only as she ran through the dripping school gates that she realised her right hand was empty. No trumpet! She turned back in panic, looking out to the street just as the bus disappeared from sight. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 44 4 4 4

Brahminy Kite True to his name he floats, higher and higher Until he is a fleck in the vast blueness Majestically catching the tiniest breath of wind Gently manoeuvring Graceful, serene, unflinching Eagle-eyed he scans his dominion Minute details noted The red-eyed tree frog dares not stir The leafhopper dares not fulfil his name The tiny flash of a Fairy-bluebird tests the air The kite’s wings gesture a sudden flicker Reminded of his purpose He hovers Calculates Then tucking his wings into a streamlined dart P L U N G E S Like a lightning bolt through the vastness The Fairy-bluebird surrenders To mid-air capture Her fairy kingdom overthrown By talons of power by Jody Cook 5

Food miles: how well-travelled is your food? ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Log in Sign up The issue Next time you sit down for dinner, make a list of all the foods on your plate. Investigate where those foods have come from. You could be in for a big surprise. Has your rice come from India? Have your oranges come from California, or your fish fillets from Vietnam? ‘Food miles’ is a term that describes the distance food travels between where it is grown, caught or processed and your dinner table. Why should we worry about this? It is important because the further food travels, the more fuel is required to transport it and the more greenhouse gases are created. Research has found that the contents of the average family shopping basket have travelled an astonishing 70 000 kilometres. Every individual can make a difference. If you care about the future, reduce your food miles and your impact on the environment. Ellen P May 7, 10:00 am I agree. We should all buy food that is grown locally and help our environment. Jo May 7, 11:17 am We grow our own veggies. They have zero food miles! Busy Dad May 7, 11:20 am Buying local is a great idea, Ellen, but local products cost more than imported ones. Not everyone can afford to buy only local foods. Get Real May 7, 11:34 am I don’t believe it makes any difference. It’s just another excuse for shops to charge more for groceries. Green Boy May 7, 11:50 am We all have to take a stand and do what we can. Even if it costs a bit more, I reckon saving the planet is more important than saving money. Busy Dad May 7, 12:06 pm Everyone cares about the environment and the future! But we’ve got to be practical. Who has time to look at every single label at the shops? Eco Warrior May 7, 2:12 pm This is more complicated than simply reading labels and buying local. Farming methods vary a lot from place to place. Locally grown food may use less fuel getting from the farm, but maybe it uses more tractors and pesticides and fertilisers. These things damage the environment too. BJ May 7, 2:14 pm Yeah. It’s the total impact of getting the food to the table that is important, not just how far it travels. Eco Warrior is on the right track. Comments 6 h

Adventure by moonlight The moon was so bright that the trees cast bars of shadow across the rou\ gh track. The children picked their way carefully over its rutted surface as they moved through shadow to light and back into shadow. Noises they would have disregarded during daylight seemed loud and disquieting in the darkness.\ The bravado of daytime when the adventure was planned had long disappeared. ‘Come on!’ Joe hissed, as if impatience might mask his fear. ‘We should stick together.’ His cousins looked at him wonderingly, as they were as close behind him as his own shadow. But being the city kids they accepted his authority unquestioningly. This was his home, his territory, and he was their safety. He knew where the tree roots snaked across the path, lying in wait to trip \ them, and what landmark signalled their turn-off into the bewildering gloom. A narrow side track forced them into single file and long sweeps of grass whipped their legs as if to discourage them. The country became more open and they could see the narrow sheep trail cutting like a brown thread th\ rough the dry grassland. Silently they stumbled after Joe, not wanting to incur his anger again. \ The path crested a low hill and suddenly they could see the derelict homestead. As they neared the house, they could see the sheets of iron starting to lift fro\ m the roof like the curling pages of an old book and the twisted fruit trees in the\ orchard sending barren, tortured arms towards the ground. ‘They’re round the back,’ Joe said, ‘but keep away from the trees—there could be snakes.’ The cousins shrank into themselves to make a smaller target for the perils of the bush. They placed their feet down reluctantly, shying nervously when Joe cracked a piece of rotten wood beneath his boots. They skirted the house, trying not to look at the blank windows where be\ draggled curtains hung through ragged arcs of broken glass. Beyond the collapsed \ garden fence stood a small enclosure, its elaborate iron gate wedged slightly o\ pen. Joe forced it wider and they stepped through. Two marble headstones glowed palely in the straggly grass, their inscriptions covered in moss. The children stood in a line, considering their great-grandparents. 7

8 On Saturday morning, Sara got up early to play football. She put on her football shirt and black shorts. Then, she pulled on some long socks. Next, she carried her football boots to the door and put them on. ‘I thought you played football on Sunday, not Saturday!’ said Sara’s dad. ‘Oh, yeah!’ said Sara, and she went back to bed.
