Photographers and artists from Studio Sorrento collaborated throughout the coronavirus lockdown, with the photography group posted about 80 photos online from which the artists could create artworks in their own style.

Solutions to some lifestyle problems have been found, but recent events have again highlighted the mysteries that remain.
A sperm whale washed ashore at Phillip Island over the Labor Day long weekend and researchers have been unable to explain why so few dolphins live in Western Port compared to Port Phillip.
Executive director of the Dolphin Research Institute, Jeff Weir, said dead whale and dolphin numbers were just two examples of the DRI’s “critical role in filling gaps and finding solutions that are only possible because of the decades of experience, understanding, and skills we have developed”.
