OUTLET: THE GUARDIAN INTERNATIONAL
It was October 1984 and Peter Garrett, the frontman for Midnight Oil, should have been riding high. The band’s fifth album, Red Sails in the Sunset, had just topped the Australian charts – the band’s first number one.

If you’ve ever travelled to the world’s most famous locations and seen Chinese bridal couples posing for over-the-top photo shoots, there’s no need to congratulate them yet for their Big Day. Why? Because often the actual wedding could still be another six months away!

This trend is so huge, couples try to outdo each other with exotic locations and price tags to match. While many couples are happy to pay a few thousand dollars for a set of wedding images, China’s jet set have been known to pay up to $500,000 for a series of international, on-location shoots (think an Antarctic backdrop for that kind of price)!

OUTLET: DAILY TELEGRAPH
THIS is the photo that showcased the toughness of the Hawaiian Ironman and put the sport of triathlon on the international map.
It’s also the moment that planted a flag for all female athletes and one that I’ll acknowledge at the start line of the 2018 Patagonian Marathon in four weeks time.
To be a female athlete in these times, professional or amateur, is to be part of a seismic shift in the narrative of what it means to be a woman.
