Delightful Destinations - Kangaroo Island
The isolation of Kangaroo Island, its large pristine areas and proximity to wildlife make it an Australian destination that, put simply, must not be missed. Hailed as one of the last unspoiled wonders of the world, Kangaroo Island was inducted into the South Australian Tourism Hall of Fame in 2004. If an eco experience is what you’re seeking, Kangaroo Island offers this and more. Read more here from http://www.takeabreak.com.au/
Fit & Well – Exercising in summer?
Drink up before you're thirsty! Once you start craving water, you're already 3 percent dehydrated. To avoid that, drink two to three cups a few hours before you work out. Ten minutes before, have another cup - and one cup every 15 to 20 minutes while you're exercising. If you're a swimmer, follow the same plan - just because you're surrounded by water doesn't mean it's keeping you hydrated. Read more here from Performance Body Works.
Here’s three easy ways to go green in 2008!
Buy a laptop because it uses considerably less power than a desktop computer.
Grill corn in its husk. Instead of stripping off the green leaves, soak the ear whole, then place it right on the barbecue — no aluminium foil required.
Protect the earth while you picnic. At your next outdoor party, ask people to write their names on disposable cups so they'll use only one (to make it easy, put out markers). If you use disposable dinnerware, buy the kind that won't clog landfills or kill trees. Read more great tips here

Welcome
Happy New Year and welcome to 2008, which in Chinese Astrology is the Year of the Rat. It is symbolic of opportunity and good prospects, so I wish you well for the year ahead. January has flown as everyone gets ready to end a month of celebrations. Then its time to send children back to school as we all adjust to the hectic mornings and busy afternoons. If you have not made your child care arrangements just call us on 1300 721 111 and we will take care of everything!
Until next month,
Danielle Robertson
