Soon after I landed in the federal press gallery in 1989 as a wet-behind-the-ears political correspondent, a call came from the prime minister’s office. “Hawkie would like to see you,” said a voice. I grabbed a notebook and, in a lather of anticipation, hurried down labyrinthine corridors of the giant new Parliament House. Was the prime minister of Australia about to deliver me a scoop? Bob Hawke
These diving dinosaurs have defied death forever. But what now? (opens the original)

To witness a plunging of gannets is to be hypnotised. Each bird soars, spins into a vertical dive and in the split second before piercing the water, folds its wings and becomes a perfect arrow. On those special days when great shoals of pilchards school in the bay beyond the windows of my home in western Victoria, gannets fill the sky and boil the surface of the sea.

Young women and some not so young wandered about speaking loudly and confidently smoking cigarettes, the air tinged with smoke and morning sunlight slanting through windows. Crusty bread and bowls of olives sat upon wooden tables. The place was crowded.
