| Christmas came early for Anne Mason yesterday after the mother of two won the major prize in the Foodland Charity House Competition - a $300,000 home at Aldinga Beach.

Ms Mason, 44, was one of eight monthly winners who each were given a randomly selected key, before trying their luck at the front door of the house. Only one winning key would open the door to the eco-frie... |

| It has been an abiding philosophy of the Hickinbotham Group since 1954 that success is about being a good corporate citizen and giving back to the community that you live and work in.
In 2007, Hickinbotham advised suppliers, staff and contacts via their Christmas greeting card, that in 2008 a computer will be donated to a kindy in lieu of printing Christmas cards. This was the beginning of the Foundation concept.
‘Foundation for the Future’ aims to give all children, no matter what are... |

| On its corner allotment in the Salisbury mortgage belt, the bare bones of the house are hard to miss in a streetscape of brick-and tile boxes. The timbers of the skillion roof thrust skywards, creating deep eaves over the north-facing wall of glass doors. The doors enclose the open plan kitchen and living space, and give on to a generously proportioned courtyard. On its western side, bedroom windows overlook what will one day be a leafy, shaded space in summer, and in winter a sunny space that r... |

As managing director of the Hickinbotham Homes group, he saw a crisis looming and, even worse, ... |

Winner of the club's best and fairest award in 1947, he was joint runner-up to Bob Hank in the Magarey Medal the same year. In 1954, his last league season, he served as South's captain-coach.
