Yesterday, as the crowds cheered and the champagne flowed, favourite Admire Rakti collapsed and died in his stall from a suspected massive heart attack or internal bleeding. Later, Araldo was euthanised after becoming frightened and crashing through a gate, shattering a bone in his leg. We featured this article in Living Local’s Summer 2013 edition, after last year’s Melbourne Cup runner, Verema, was euthanised after falling during the race.

Spring Is Upon Us
Recently my family needed to make use of a local hospital. I was struck by how blessed we are, living in a city where amazing facilities, faultless service and skilful treatment are made available to us.

Watching re-runs of Offspring was fun at first but it’s now wearing thin. Baby admiring, taking photos and tummy time can pass the hours, but it would be nice to leave the house once in a while. So what to do?
Tru Water Filters
When it comes to water, I’ve always been an out-of-the-tap kind of girl; it’s easily accessible and almost free. There’s a big topical debate about water, some advocate that tap water is just fine, others like to filter or purify (and the scope of systems is vast), while it’s reported that $12.8 billion is spent on bottled water each year. But what’s actually in the water I drink?
HydROtwist Omnipure – Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier
This system is for drinking water and there are many great things about it. First, the water tastes great and this even influences the flavour of coffee!
Sprite High Output Shower Filter
This has been an amazing breakthrough for our family and is one of the best health decisions we’ve made. Literally from the very first shower after that water filter was installed, I noticed a big
difference in the softness of the water, my skin was less dry and there was no chlorine smell.
