Just read this great piece on SBS NITV: 'Two Flags, One Nation' – the story of outback artist Talc Alf's 1988 design blending the Aboriginal flag with the Southern Cross for unity. Decades later it appeared on Sam Neill's uniform in Event Horizon (set in 2047), and it flew at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. A hopeful vision of reconciliation reaching far into the future.

A 500-year-old Leonardo da Vinci mystery has been solved, and the clue was hiding in an unexpected place.
For centuries, scholars debated whether da Vinci drew the "Vitruvian Man" figure first, then added the circle and square, or vice versa. This question gets to the heart of his process: was he an artist using geometry, or a geometer using art?
New high-resolution analysis has provided the answer. By examining the overlapping lines, researchers found the figure was drawn over the geometric circle. The most telling point of overlap? The line of the circle passing over the figure's crotch.
This confirms Leonardo drew the architecture of the universe first and then placed humanity perfectly within it, underscoring his belief in the connection between the macrocosm and microcosm.
