Ceres Environmental Park by Lost At E Minor
The Ceres Environmental Park in Brunswick, Melbourne is a little inner-city oasis and is as close to a hippie commune as anything found in the city. Not-for-profit and sustainability are the keywords here, and the park plays host to regular events from live gigs to programs about everything related to the environment.
The café provides ridiculously healthy food, sustainable innovations are in action on every structure and building, with accompanying explanations and it's also wonderful just to browse around the large, relaxing site. Especially popular is the bike shed, where for a small membership fee, the tools and experts are then available to help repair bikes or even fix up one of the carcasses.

Designed by the clever Israeli-based firm d-Vision, the "neo-naturist" project takes inspiration from the simple beauty of eating outdoors with friends or family. With varying shapes and sizes that echo the organic forms found in nature, the collection also speaks to an...

Out on a Limb
Nestled in the wilds of the 92-acre Morris Arboretum in Philadelphia, a new exhibit blends education, entertainment and lessons in environmental sustainability. Called Out on a Limb, it consists of a 450-foot walkway that takes visitors five stories high view from inside the forest canopy. At the center of this spectacle is a 250-year-old Chestnut Oak whose trunk and root structure remain literally untouched...

Reef Check
Of the eco-tourist travel boom lately, one of the most effective programs we've encountered is conservationist non-profit Reef Check. Tourists lucky enough to indulge in exotic island vacations have a chance to give back, combine active and activist lifestyles and help maintain reef integrity by joining Reef Check. The human impact on coral reefs is a result of quick-buck practices such as bomb fishing,...

Emerald Peacock Bar
Following the success of their Red Hummingbird on Russell Street in Melbourne (famous for its hummingbird wallpaper), the owners recently opened The Emerald Peacock bar and restaurant on Londsdale Street. While I'm sure the food and drink is fantastic, it's the sumptuous interior that's creating all the buzz. It again features signature wallpaper, used as the starting point for the entire design. Each space...

Kate Bernauer Photography
The photography of Brisbane-based artist Kate Bernauer contains a narrative and that's no accident. She constructs her pictures with theatrical lighting and props in specific locations to construct a story. For example, the intention of her Sydney exhibition, "I’ll Be Home For Dinner," is to "address the contradictions and absurdities of everyday life." Ideas for her pictures come from dreams, along with absurd true...
