My mother’s phone calls became stranger, but I couldn’t visit. A rescue dog helped me reach her

My mother’s phone calls became stranger, but I couldn’t visit. A rescue dog helped me reach her

Conversation was difficult. But Sally, a dear old German shepherd, gave me a glimpse of my mother’s emotional state My mother had been wanting a dog for years. She lived in Perth, on the other side of the country to her children and grandchildren who were all grown up. She had retired too early, had few interests, and didn’t get out much. She imagined a sleek little whippet curled up at her feet as she watched television. She imagined a pretty collar and a knitted coat. My stepfather was less keen. He stalled the dog issue for more than a year while he built a high fence around the property. Then there was a solar-powered, sliding electronic gate that took another six months of fine tuning. I would ring him up and berate him. “Please, why can’t you just get on with it. She wants a dog. Just get her a dog.” What I didn’t know was that the forbidding fence he was building, the gate operated by keypad and code, wasn’t just to contain a dog. It was to contain my mother.

The four minutes that lasted a lifetime as Wallabies won all-time chaos classic | Jack Snape

One year from a home World Cup, in circumstances comically heroic, this was the match Australia needed With four minutes to go, and four players down, Australia lead by two tries against the world champions in Perth. The Wallabies have been unbeaten in four matches under new coach Les Kiss, but they have not yet been tested against a rugby power. If they were looking for a test, this is now it. On the arena where the men’s rugby World Cup will begin in just over one year, Australia are showing promise. They had led South Africa 42-17 midway through the second half. Now, the score is 42-31.

Wallabies hold off world champion Springboks in chaotic Rugby Championship test

Wallabies hold off world champion Springboks in chaotic Rugby Championship test

Australia beat South Africa 42-38 to send World Cup warning Les Kiss’s side reduced to 11 men in final 15 minutes A year out from the World Cup, Australia have sent a huge warning shot to the competition, upsetting the two-time trophy winners South Africa with an extraordinary 42-38 win in Perth. On a weekend when the AFL and NRL delivered fairytale comebacks, the Wallabies trumped both rival codes, hammering rugby’s No 1 team with a skilful display that ended in bizarre circumstances when the men in gold held on despite being reduced to 11 players at the end. Fittingly, the victory found the Wallabies harnessing the aerial powers of Australian Rules and the rambunctious power of rugby league to dominate rugby’s world champions with a brilliant, inventive and courageous five-try performance that kept alive new coach Les Kiss’s unbeaten record and breathed new hope into the hearts of Australian fans nationwide.

Wallabies gear up for mouthwatering South Africa clash: ‘A massive, massive Test’ | Jack Snape

With Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii on the wing and a bench packed with forwards, coach Les Kiss is hoping he has a formula to topple the Springboks The weight of the occasion is almost enough to tip the great red continent into the Indian Ocean. Sunday night’s clash between the Wallabies and South Africa in Perth marks a year from the start of the home World Cup, which will kick off with the Wallabies playing at the same venue. The date with the mighty Springboks is also the first match under Wallabies coach Les Kiss against one of the traditional rugby powers.

‘Robust little’ vessel begins treacherous 22,000km journey around Antarctica in the name of climate science

Powered by sun and wind, the uncrewed vehicle will collect data to help Australian scientists better understand how oceans absorb emissions A small uncrewed vessel has embarked on a lap around Antarctica and may not return for months. The seven-metre craft, which looks like a large kayak in hi-vis orange, is expected to travel about 22,000km through inhospitable waters, propelled by powerful westerly winds and energy from the sun. The journey is seven times the distance between Sydney and Perth. Continue reading...

Mark Wood was a high-speed hero who put body and soul on the line for England | Taha Hashim

Mark Wood was a high-speed hero who put body and soul on the line for England | Taha Hashim

Fast bowler won the Ashes and two World Cups but those successes were punctuated by long spells out with injury To reach for the career stats on Cricinfo is no way to go about it. This is a full-on YouTube job: boil the kettle, load up those spells at Headingley, St Lucia and the rest, and take in the whippy, absurd, mesmerising sight of perhaps the fastest English bowler there has ever been. That’s probably the best way to remember Mark Wood’s career. Tuesday’s announcement of his international retirement was coming from the moment Wood hobbled out of the Ashes last December, the series opener his only appearance. That always felt like the last act, one he rushed back for after surgery on his left knee earlier that year, and the game moves on fast. England’s seam stocks look healthy across formats, with Jofra Archer there to ramp it up when required. It’s a sore point that Archer and Wood played just two Tests together: one without supporters during the 2020 Covid-bubble summer, the other Wood’s farewell at Perth. Continue reading...

Several Australian beaches to remain shut after fatal shark attack

Several Australian beaches to remain shut after fatal shark attack

Several beaches along the coast of Western Australia, including in the state capital Perth, will remain closed until at least Sunday, authorities said, after a fatal ⁠shark attack at a popular beach in the city on Friday. The victim, a male swimmer, died after being mauled at Sorrento ‌Beach, around 20 km (12 miles) from Perth's central business district, prompting the closure of beaches ‌along 17 km (11 miles) of coastline. Beaches ‌in Perth's Joondalup area would remain ‌closed until at least ‌noon (0400 GMT) on Sunday, the state government said on Saturday. "Officers from Department of ‌Primary Industries and Regional Development will continue ⁠to conduct land-based patrols," it said in an alert. Friday's incident is the latest in a ⁠series of ⁠shark attacks in Australia and comes after a surfer in the state was bitten in an ⁠attack on Monday. In that attack in the town of Geraldton around 400 km (250 miles) north of Perth, the surfer lost his foot and suffered serious leg injuries, local ‌media said. In June a 35-year-old man was killed while spearfishing off the state's south coast, while a 38-year-old man was mauled to death off an island near Perth in May.

Swimmer killed in shark attack at popular Western Australia beach

SYDNEY: A man died on Friday after being mauled by a shark while swimming at ‌a popular beach in the state of Western Australia, police said. It is the latest in a spate of shark attacks in the country and comes just days after a surfer was bitten in an attack ⁠in the same state. The Western Australia Police Force said emergency services were called to a reported shark-related incident in the water off Sorrento Beach at around 10.30 ‌a.m. local time (0230 GMT). "It was reported a male swimmer had been bitten by a shark while swimming along ‌the coast," WA Police said in a ‌statement. Authorities launched an extensive air and sea ‌search, but the swimmer died ‌as a result of the attack, the statement said. Sorrento Beach is a popular swimming ‌spot around 20 km (12.5 miles) from Perth's central ⁠business district. The local council said it closed down all beaches in its jurisdiction after the attack. A 5-metre-long (16.4-foot) white shark ⁠was reported ⁠to monitoring website SharkSmart at the nearby Boyinaboat reef just after noon on Friday. There was no confirmation that it ⁠was the shark involved in the attack. On Monday, a surfer was attacked at a beach in the town of Geraldton, around 400 km north of Perth. The surfer lost his foot in the attack ‌and suffered serious leg injuries, local media said. It follows the death of a 35-year-old man killed while spearfishing off the state's south coast in June, while a 38-year-old man was mauled to death off an island near Perth in May.
