    Just off the coast of Cronulla is an exposed rocky outcrop known as Shark Island, famous for its dangerous, barrelling waves that thunder over an extremely shallow ledge. The southern Sydney break is home to the Shark Island Challenge, an invitational bodyboarding competition that pushes the world's best to their limits. The event, which started in 1997, was relaunched last year after a six-year break as part of efforts to rejuvenate the sport in Australia.

    Surrounded by pitch-black, swampy floodwaters and using a makeshift bamboo raft, a rescue crew pulled off an extraordinary feat. Late on Friday evening the team of five Fire and Rescue in-water technicians responded to a call from an isolated farm near Kempsey on the New South Wales mid-north coast. The crew paddled their rescue boat 2 kilometres to reach 62-year-old Troy Irwin and his 52-year-old partner Mirasol Page, whose property had been cut off for three days.

Tradespeople and volunteers have arrived to help with the clean-up and to restore power. The two car ferries started servicing the region again on Sunday afternoon. Having lived in Port Macquarie's North Shore for more than 40 years, Carla McKern knows isolation well. During times of flood though, that isolation goes to a new level.

    On remote Lord Howe Island, historical eras have been largely defined not by leaders or monarchs but modes of transport, which provide a critical connection to mainland Australia. The island's transport eras have spanned from 1834 when the first island settlers used whaling boats, to the romanticised post-World War II flying boat era, through to the past three decades when Qantas has served the island community.
